Anyway, there is one school that plays this music so loud, that I have to leave the gym. You actually cannot not speak to the person next to you. I would think it probably violates concert legal levels.

I know I will have a basketball game in this gym. I would think I have the capacity to tell them to turn it down a bit.

What is your opinion?
I suppose you could request it politely, but I don't think you have the authority to force it. My experience is that the adults aren't paying attention and the inmates are running the asylum. If you bring it to an adult's attention they are usually very accommodating. I've requested once or twice that songs with highly objectionable lyrics be stopped and something a little less inflammatory be used. They usually step to it right away.
