Re: OSHA, Safety and event volumes

We know of a case where two people were interested in learning more about FIRST, came to an event, thought it was way too loud, and left soon after. We lost two potential mentors and a potential team because the music was too loud.

I escort VIPs at some of the Regionals. I routinely lose my voice because I have to yell over the music to explain the game to them. I'm concerned about straining my vocal chords and what kind of longterm damage I am doing to them.

I come home with ears ringing.

I love the music and announcing, but does it really have to be so loud to make an event exciting?
