How is this known? Did the school inform the residents? If so, that makes a big difference. I would certainly understand if the situation was explained as being a once a year. That's certainly ok. How am I to know that this isn't going to be happening every Sunday? That the problem I have with this instance. I all for kids being kids, but hell, how about giving the locals a "heads up?" I've broken up tons of "adult" parties over the years, and typically it's from ppl that didnt know something was scheduled to occur. The smart party planners inform there neighbors of a forthcoming event, and rarely do we have an issue complaints.

Im amazed that people are OK with this. Sometimes I only get a few hours off between shifts. I keep very odd hours and when I want to sleep, I want to sleep.
If I go in front of anybodys house on here at 6AM with a boom box blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd I guarantee the police would be called. Its disturbing the peace no matter what kind of music it is or where its coming from.
Ever have a newborn baby in the house? Would you like that baby to be woken up 3 hours before normal? No.
Im amazed that people are OK with this.
What he said. As a resident of CG as well, you can see (and hear )the band practicing ALL the time. They put in more work than all the sports teams, combined. let them have their fun.Band members and directors practice, practice and do it over and over....
Rain, wind, in the dark under street lights, when their not feeling well and occasionally in the sunshine.
Thats whats required to be competitive and their hard work paid off once again.
Had I known of this 30-year tradition and their location,
I would have provided donuts and hot chocolate!
And I live in Center Grove.
Bunch of winers.
I used to work nightshift. I never, nor should anyone else working night shift IMO, expect the rest of the world to accomodate me and my crappy schedule. If you work night shift, you should expect noise, light, interuptions...Im guessing there is someone in that neighborhood who works nightshirt. I wonder how many of them that called the cops give any consideration to night shift neighbors when they mow their yards, etc.
Wow people! One morning every year they make it to state! Big deal! They are welcome to wake me up once a year, and I would give them a one man standing ovation!
See, the problem is that the neighbors have no idea that its a one time a year thing... or if it's going to go on for 2 hours or 10 minutes.
That's exactly the problem.
The only problem with notifying everyone is you can hear that crap from a mile away.
Id say if it hasnt happened before, Its probably not gonna start happening everyday... It's a freaking band standing in a dudes yard... You guys act like this would be normal at 2oclock in the afternoon or that it happens all time...See, the problem is that the neighbors have no idea that its a one time a year thing... or if it's going to go on for 2 hours or 10 minutes. The reports I've read (I live in Center Grove) is that people 3 neighborhoods over heard the music/noise.
I suspect there is a little more to this. If I walked out and asked what was going on/keep it down and I was met with cursing, you can be certain the cops would get called. Maybe the first action by the residents was to call the cops, but I’d bet some homeowners were treated disrespectfully prior to the call.
