: I have really enjoyed my time at the Great Lakes regional this past weekend, in all but one ways. The music was simply too loud. I don't have anything against playing music at the competitions, because it does make it more exciting. However, the decibel levels were dangerously high. High enought that 3 days exposure could cause permantant or temporary hearing damage. Not to mention the headaches that I got(I am sure that I'm not alone). I think that participants should have to right to compete without being subjected to such a danger.

: First is doing a good thing in promoting engineering for kids. But wouldn't it be great if tomorrow's engineers didn't need to use hearing aids?

Good points, Peter! And, no, you were not alone in getting headaches from
the high noise levels.
