Sound Policy Request:
We desire a moderate decibel level in the upper 80’s to low 90’s range, not to exceed 100 decibels at peaks (A-rating, slow response, front of room). This is to foster our reputation as an “arts house” that is comfortable for all our guests. Crossings gets more complaints about high volume than anything else. We need to keep our relatively small community coming back to remain viable. Thank you!
