Default Luminescence tonight was way too loud!! measured 110db

Ok, I'm only 58 so can handle loud noises. We went to the 5pm Luminescence show at the Savannah center. While the show was ok, we would have really enjoyed it IF they would not have played the volume so loud; especially the BASS. I have a DB sound analyzer on my iphone and measured 110db for the set right before the intermission. My ears were starting to hurt. The last set averaged 102db with peaks at 108db. When we broke for intermission, I heard many comments from others that said the same thing. Wow, too loud and could not hear the voices. Even my wife said it was too loud. When your chest is vibrating, you would understand what I mean.
Anyhow, I hope that whoever runs the Entertainment reads this and makes contract corrections to perhaps limit maximum volume levels for better enjoyment. 110db is like working at a power saw 3' away. Look at the URL for comparisons.

Anyhow, for other villagers... take care and have great holidays.
