We went to an outdoor community band concert last month. It
was on a Sunday evening and the event had a nice mix of people – some seniors,
some families. Multiple times during the concert though, I smelled the distinct
odor of marijuana wafting through the crowd. This saddened me, ‘cause this was
a family program – a band concert as opposed to a rock concert. Hopefully it
was just some guy who had medically prescribed marijuana, and maybe he had to
smoke it in order to be able to drive home.
Regardless, I have some suggestions
for concert coordinators to lessen the effect of
marijuana at future concerts:
- Don’t have the band perform any songs written in the late ‘60’s or ‘70’s. No Grateful Dead covers by the community band. Stick with the John Philip Sousa march-type stuff.
- Set up a special seating section for marijuana users, downwind, in the northeast section of the seating area
- Set up special band concerts just for marijuana users. THEN, you can pull out the Grateful Dead covers and everybody goes home happy. Or wherever they go.
