[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 50888, member: 158"] Re: Choir at rock concert levels sorry, it's story time... i was doing sound at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington D.C. for a kid's mass gospel choir sometime in the mid-90s. the kid's were all ringers from a bunch of different schools. there were three age groups and for the finale, they all took the stage. we were doing sound checks and all the kids were on stage. there was somewhere in the area of 300 kids up there on risers. they were all perfectly quiet [amazing in and of itself] until the director gave the down beat to hit the first chord in an accapella piece. i happened to be walking across the stage at the time when i was hit by perhaps the loudest sound wave i've ever experienced. no reinforcement. just 300 powerful young lungs singing in perfect harmony. i almost fell down it was so loud. one of the most amazing sound experiences i've ever had. totally awesome!
