how old for a rodeo?

My son will be 10 months old when the rodeo is in town. My husband and I have gone to the rodeo for the past 5 years and it's made it kind of like a tradition. We want to take our son but just not sure. It's not a huge rodeo but it's not a small one either. The music can get a little loud out times but not super loud. Would it be a good idea to take him and if so what should we bring (like baby headphones?) or anything like that?
