Dear Cathy and others with noisy students,
In 1995 I had a new, talkative 45-member h.s. choir and strangling
allergies, so that I could not even speak. For the first few weeks of
school, each time I tried to speak, I coughed myself into oblivion.
Disaster! I discovered, a little late, that Radio Shack has a marvelous
device, that's also cheap, called a Powerhorn. You push the button, point it
where you want to be heard, adjust the volume appropriately, and speak in a
normal tone. Voila! I've used it at times since then, with good effect. It
plays dumb little music phrases, too, that can be coded for your outdoor
band. Even less speaking! I recommend it.
Hope this might be of help to some of the listers.
Nancy C.
