[Organizers] outdoor dances in parks?

[Dugan Murphy]

Hi, Weogo,

The Friends of Congress Square Park (our partner in organizing the outdoor
contra dances) has a cheap decibel reader that they use to measure the
sound about 25 feet in front of the speakers.  They'll take an average
reading.  We don't know about whether is A-weighted or C-weighted.
