Brass band at 6.15am!!!

[Spuddybean]

Hi all - Wasn't really sure about who to ask, but last night (xmas eve) a brass band came down our street (Our first year here so no idea if this is normal) at 8pm. Knocked on the door collecting and everyone went out in the street to watch. It was all lovely and xmassy etc.

Anyway, i was fast asleep this morning and in my dream (i was in some kind of murder mystery in a plush hotel) the sound of brass band playing ding dong merrily on high permeated. I presumed it was part of my cheese dream. Then dp said 'what the fuck is that?' So i realised we were either having some kind of group hallucination/dream or there really was a brass band playing outside our house.

So i struggle out of bed, see the time is 6.15, look out the window and there, low and behold, is the same band from the night before trumpetting away!

We couldn't believe it, we didn't want to shout fuck off out the window, but got back in bed hoping they would stop. THEY DID 6 MORE SONGS!

Is this normal behaviour? and are we grinchy bastards?

oh and AIBU to think this is way too early?

Sounds like something from 'Beadle's About'.

Never heard of that before.... I would've gone mental....well inside my house I would've

they then went to the parallel street and played again but because it was so quiet we heard it all over again :(

My DS's new Nerf Guns would have come in handy in that situation.

fuck that, we was all still asleep at that time

I love brass bands...perhaps not quite so early in the morning though.

Proper mental!

I said to DP thank god we don't have dc yet (most people on our street do), we would have been trying to convince them it wasn't really morning yet and to go back to bed as father xmas hadn't been yet etc!
