[NAGDU] Wind Ensemble

[Daryl Marie]

MuttMuffs are a real thing. I bought a pear 2.5 years ago and have successfully used them at hockey games - when our local team went to the playoffs and we had screaming fans and loud horns and all the rest. They DO stay on if you tighten them appropriately and get the dog accustomed to them :)Daryl----- Original Message -----

I would be very impressed if you would be able to keep earmuffs on your dogs head without her shaking them off. I tend to agree with Cindy I think she would be OK as long as she was introduced to it and orchestra performances really are what maybe two hours at the most? I would think try her out in rehearsals and see how she does. 
This sounds really exciting I would be curious to see how she does! Good luck
