This is smart. It would be even smarter to keep the volume down by the first dance, where you don’t need such a “pump” and by the 2nd dance, where you do, you announce to the crowd: Ladies & gentelman, the volume for this dance will be considerably higher that the 1st dance, being that most ppl over 40 are the ones complaining about the volume usually do not actively participate in the 2nd dance anyway, please step in to the hallway for the duration, and join us for bentching afterwards. Thank you.
Is that so bad ??!!
Everyone will be happy.
this comment lacks derech eretz, and is disrepectful to parents, grand parents who we should appreciate having and “basheining” our simcha. A chasuna should resound with the kedusha of the simcha and not with latest beats in bringing the couple to build a bayis neeman b’yisroel
Every band has been doing this for a long time now
Regardless of our personal preferences, the bands will continue to play the music type at whatever decibel level preferred by the persons in charge of paying their fee’s.
I think offering earplugs is a nice gesture.
The bands are serving themselves. They will sometimes even ignore the ba’al simchas’ requests to lower the volume. They believe if the music isn’t loud enough, it makes them look bad.
The only persons that have a right to tell the band what to play or to adjust the volume are the baalay simcha who are paying for it. It is very selfish for someone to request the band to turn down the volume especially that your a guest at someone else’s Simcha.Someone that is sensitive to loud music is usually aware way before entering the wedding hall & should come prepared with ear plugs. If for some reason you forget to bring ear plugs or suddenly become aware at the wedding that the volume hurts your ears just simply rip up a napkin/tissue & stuff up your ears, Do Not Approach the Band for your own Selfish reasons
my problem with the loud music is with bringing babies to a simcha. nowadays earphones are available. if you have no baby sitter and no earphones, STAY HOME!!..
It’s not just a matter of liking or disliking loud music; it can damage your hearing. And it’s not just unsafe for babies, but for everyone.
Herein lies the problem. The choson who does not care much about pictures, flowers, menu, etc and only cares about that the band should ‘knock’ takes advice from his friends who trash bands that keep the music at a tolerable level. The bottom line is the bottom line. If you wanna stay in business and make money you have to satisfy the boys and the only way to do that is to have good music play very loud
I know it’s a different topic. But I just came back from a Chuppah in Lakewood and what disturbes me most is people talking during the Chuppah, mostly men. All the men standing in the aisle just talk to each other, nobody pays attention to the Brochos, etc. A Shande.
