Loudest Drum Corps - 2011 Indy Prelims Edition


Recommended Posts

[i thought this might be better in its own thread since it's really about the Indy Preliminaries measurements.]

I really didn't have great seats for Prelims this year -- Section 139 Row 23 Seat 10 which is the next to last row in the back of the lower section on about the right 40 yd line -- so I was considering not posting the Prelim measurements, but why not? Overall, it looks like the Prelims were a few dB below Atlanta mainly because I was a bit further back.

Below, the first number is from Atlanta, the 2nd number is the Indy Prelim measurement (loudest value).

We'll try again next year. I promise I'll upgrade my meter so I won't have to switch ranges, so I won't miss anything.

Yep, good numbers for Surf. They hit that on the closer, but did have some concert bass drum help.

I might need to go with some sort of averaging setting next year so bd (not to be confused with BD) impacts don't skew the results as much.

That said, well done Jersery Surf!

Just remember--different shows, different material. Even the venue changes as more folks fill the seats for the later Corps.
