I've seen a few posts about "Rondo" on the BLL broadcast.

Anyone know if Lindsay Vento or Dennis De Lucia will be doing the broadcast too ?

May only Dennis be in the booth.

Dennis will probably "skype" into the show from Jersey like recently.

I will be really sad when Rondo retires.

I still miss the "On the Road Again" segments.

I think this is the reason they used to stop the stream at the top 15! 👀😂

But the premiere I attended last year wasn't loud enough in the theater.

If it isn’t loud enough I cup my hands behind my ears.  It’s surprising how much difference that can make.  

A couple times it’s been too loud and I’ve actually had to put my hands loosely over my ears.

It’s all about hands and ears.

First thing you do before buying the snacks/drinks is to speak with the manager.  Request to have the operator check that the sound is up.  Has worked every time in the various theaters I've been to.  When I arrive and see many HS age teenagers, I ask if there were any teachers/band directors.  When a hand or two went up, I politely asked them to quiet down those students who might become too distracting for the rest of us. Only once did the students/chaperones here a voice from the back of the theatre requesting them to shut up.

Always pack ear plugs whenever you go to an indoor theatre or concert hall.

I've seen a guy in Indy that was wearing what looked like homemade scoops for his ears.  I have cupped my hands to help hear a snare or quad passage of music. It does work!

Best way to identify snare tick is BEHIND the snare line with scooped ears.

I remember black ear scoop memes BITD.

The electronic sonority is what kicks in for me at certain venues and sound levels. 

"Break drum" opening and closing obligatory effects from EVERY pit run through the mics and speakers need to take a year off please.

Does the Flo stream continue when the theater starts?

Yes
