Yes, and many of the field personnel and working and therefore OSHA is directly relevant. This includes volunteers.

I do bring earplugs, and team 1676 does hand them out. I can't stand the volume without them, honestly

Sorry, this just sounds irresponsible. For a 3 hour concert, OK, but for a 3 day event, if it is too loud, then it is too loud.
The next steps would be for teams to carefully monitor sound levels and report their findings, be sure to use a decent instrument (cost about $100 or more) and take careful notes of the placement fo the sensor. Then we can compare notes to determine IF there really is a porbelm or not. If there is a problem, I am sure it can be managed.
