The Latest in Ear Plug Tech
Dang. $188 for a pair of ear plugs. And apparently they're not even very good.

Ahh...yet another example of cost and quality not existing in a directly proportional relationship....:)
as a music major who liked to go out and hear many a band while wearing earplugs - I can say that Hearos are actually the best I've come across as well. You knew a group of music majors - we were the only ones who weren't trying to hold conversations because ? we couldn't hear anything besides the muted music. My high-end is still shot - playing the flute and piccolo in highschool.
invest that dollar!

Yep. Some of the best solutions are the simplest (see my earlier advice on curing migraines by stubbing your toe - badly. No, cubicle walls don't do the trick).
That $188 pair, though - it looks like a bad Star Wars prop. Perhaps a mind control device that can also deliver a lethal electric jolt when the subject has outlived his or her usefulness.
kat - you're a flute player???? You seem so much cooler (said I, who made the mistake of establishing a hard crush on the chair of the flute section. She ruined Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune for me.)
well I also played the piano and oboe? does that count for anything? lol. my music teacher put me on any instrument and I usually was able to play it fairly well for a beginner. I don't play the flute now - I went the vocal/piano route. Plus I didn't want hours of rehearsals anymore I wanted to party - so now I'm a youth minister instead of a band director, or choir director, or anything else banal like that (it just isn't the right fit for me, not that I don't believe in music teachers having a profound impact on young people).
talk too much
lol

You're forgiven - but only because you play the piano. Both of my sisters played the oboe. So that's okay, too.
Oh, you guys sounded fine. Except I still stand by the statement that the oboe, in the hands of a beginner, sounds like a sick calf pining for its mother.
so THAT's why my father made me practice outside....h now I GET it.
I've seen the light it all makes so much sense now.
my father considered it sounded like a a goose or some bird that was just not doing well at all.
I wasn't any good but I loved it.
hopefully two pitchers of beer were donated to the cause.
