Four-year-old melted when the first big drum line came past. Second Kumbal listed 6:41. Are ear cups actually useful or just another thing to drop. Honest answers, we can skip tonight.

Ear cups help. Not a miracle. Bring snacks, a sit-mat, and a leave time. If they melt at forty minutes, you leave at forty minutes. The tusker is not worth a screaming child in a packed kerb.

We used cheap cups from a pharmacy near the lake. Kid lasted the flags, still hated the closest drums. Worth it for the option to stay.
