AIBU...Brass band playing outside church @ 6am this morning!! 😠

[4267sparkles]

AIBU to be severley pee'd off with the minister of the church and another 6 people playing brass instruments outside the church at 6am this morning!!
Myself and 2 Dc (7&10) stayed with my partner last night and the kids sleep in the room right next to the church car park. Me and my partner were woken with a bloody shock when this music started...it was so loud!! Youngest DC woke up with a fright crying so I went out and asked what they were doing (I thought law was 11pm-7am for noise etc...didnt think the church would be exempt!) and was told its easter sunday we will only be 15mins or so!!😠😠
I understand its easter sunday but come on...there still has to be some respect or pre warning that they were doing this. My kids have got a busy day with family and they are going to be tired and cranky, as none of us got anymore sleep, through no fault of there own.

Im so tempted to complain to the church!

.......and breath!! 😂

A church would choose whatever music it likes. It is meant to be loud and triumphal - befitting the biggest day in the Christian calendar.

YABU as it's Easter Sunday and you've chosen to live next to a Church.

Easter Sunday or otherwise, a brass band at 6am is not appropriate! YANBU.

Just back from mass, no brass bands where used.

The daybreak service here involves ringing of the bells at Easter.

I find it quite amusing when people choose to love next to somewhere then complain. Our new neighbour does that.

If your BF has lived there for more than a year he's the one you should be pulling up for not telling you about it.

6am? The fuck?

I've never heard of a daybreak service (well, I'm an atheist) but surely the considerate thing to do would be think about the neighbours who won't want to be woken with a frigging brass band at stupid o'clock on a weekend?

Cant believe all these people saying YABU

YANBU, it's really disprectful waking the neighbours of the church like that. They should at least have giving prior warning.

I'm surprised your 7 year old and 10 year old would be massively affected by a one off 6am start, particularly as they've presumably had a week off school already, at least?

I go to a church famous for its brass band. Never played at 6am outdoors though. Churches usually like to be friends with their neighbours

It's one day, and the most important in the Christian calendar. I don't go to church, but I'd be happy for those that did.

Prior warning? They did 'bout 2000 years ago

A daybreak service - fine. A brass band? Completely inconsiderate and entitled behaviour.

Leaving aside the sheer antisocialness of it, wouldn't a quiet service, with the music provided by the dawn chorus have been much nicer, and more in keeping with the Easter story? The 'third day' began quietly, with the women going to the tomb, meeting the 'gardener' .... no brash brassy fanfare.

It's one day a year. Give it a rest.

I don't go to church but am an early riser and love brass bands. I'd be quite joyful (and would prob cry as brass bands always have that affect on me). But I appreciate if you were hoping for a bit of a lie in that's a bit of a shock to the system.

Every Sunday morning at 6am would be unreasonable.
It's a normal service for Easter Sunday though. The brass band is possibly a bit much. But if it's only once a year I'd let it go.

It's normal to have a 6am service on Easter Sunday but most parishes try to be sensitive - there are several churches in this parish and the Easter Sunday service is held in a rural church surrounded by fields so it doesn't disturb anybody; in any case it's a very quiet service with no bells or music - it's outdoors around a bonfire.

I'm an atheist so I ignore Easter but even if I was religious I'd think that YANBU.

How long has your dp lived there?
Have they not heard it before?

YANBU

6am? Why are they trying to do? Resurrect the dead?!

A brass band is indeed A Bit Much, but dawn service to be expected.
NashvilleQueen me too! It can get embarrassing if I am surprised by a brass band.

Give it a rest.

That's what the OP and her family wanted. Sunday is, according to Christians, a day of rest.

The two commandments of Jesus are to love god, and** love your neighbour as yourself. Disturbing the peace at 6am on a 'day of rest' seems to be failing the latter. Is your god really impressed by loud noises more than consideration for your fellow people?

Why should the OP just get over it?

There are laws about antisocial noise before 7am - or is the Church exempt from that?

It's payback for all the times they got you up early mwahaha

Send the vicar a dawn brass band for his birthday.

I'm all for a dawn service, it's a wonderfully special day for Christians. But a brass band? that's crackers!

YDNBU. I don't care if it's a special religious time for christians. Brass bands at 6am on a Sunday is ridiculous.

Do you live by my DM by any chance? The church near her was practising Christmas service until 1am in the morning. Drums the lot.
