Bands in Basketball Courts Don't Mix.
While I enjoy the bands that Armed Forces Entertainment and the USO bring around, the places they perform leave a lot to be desired. Last week, Montgomery Gentry played at the MP Hill gymnasium. What happens when you put a high-powered country band into a basketball court with high corrugated metal ceilings and bare walls lined with bleachers, then crank up the base? Enough noise to drive me out after 15 minutes.
This is only the second band I walked out of. The other one was Bomshel in the old gym's basketball court. Same design, same noise. 100% distortion is not enjoyable. I prefer the performances in the open ball fields (late spring through fall), or even the Community Activity Center, which has a proper auditorium.
