Contact us if you’d like to volunteer to be the Sound Team Lead

Sound plays a very important role in assuring our burn is not shut down from sound complaints, by pre-burn work, as well as onsite response teams.

Before the event, the team lead assists with the placement of sound camps in areas of the event where the volume levels are appropriate. This prevents issues with neighboring camps or people living near the event. Sound camps must pre-register with specifics regarding levels, to assist in meeting these goals.

During the event, the sound team monitors levels and/or responds to calls from EC or Safety Lead to determine if a camp may have exceeded volume levels and works with the camp TCO to ameliorate the issue.

Sound team is a night team (mostly) - once placement and onsite sound checks are complete.

The sound team has two goals:

  1. Assist sound camps in regulating their levels to prevent violating local sound ordinances, and

  2. Assist camps in moderating sound between one another through placement, system orientation, pre-set sound level limits and bacon!
