Playing Your Own Live Music in Fort Collins? Watch the Volume...

Fort Collins has fostered several sucessful and underground acts, all of which have to start somewhere- usually a garage. For new and upcomming acts and likewise veterans of the scene it is important to keep in mind that the city does enforce a noise ordinance and violaters can be ticketed.

According to the city website violators can be fined up to a thousand dollars for a single offense so it is important to practice music in places unlikely to offend neighbors. Keep in mind your location as well, a secluded house is probably a good idea compared to an apatment with neighbors on the other side of the wall. Day time will always be better at night when law enforcement are more comncerned with noise. Paying attention to the concers of neighbors near by and being respectful will always help your case if problems arise.

With these conisderations in mind keep rocking Fort Collins! It is great to see new talent on the scene and by following noise ordinances there will always be enough time for band practice and communal agreement.
