cowtown Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 and if you have the Fan network, check out the piece on hearing loss. outstanding stuff I don’t, could you give a quick summation? I sat low in the dome only to have me ear blasted out by an amp, I’m sure it peaked over 120db – hopefully that was addressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankBeMe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hearing loss should be a big concern, especially with indoor venues. While in an army band in Germany, medical people came to our rehearsal hall during rehearsal to check decibel levels. They said we were louder than a 747 taking off and pretty much told us to wear ear plugs while playing--which just doesn't work. But I'd be interested in knowing how this project works in other areas like knee injuries and other effects on feet and legs from marching (I had heel spurs really bad after my first year with Kilties). I wonder too if there's been any research about skin cancer and former drum corps members and if that's a concern or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
