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!! 😂

Your 7year old woke up crying because of some music !

Curious, have dawn services always been a thing? I grew up in a very Christian family, hadn't ever heard of it till the last few years mentioned on The Archers.

We had normal 11am service, but DM would rouse the house - at a civilized hour - by rattling out 'Welcome Happy Morning' on the piano.

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

What's with all the 'you chose to live there'. How do you know?

I didn't choose to live 'here'. But it was the only house available when I split from the Ex as couldn't stay where we were.
Even more so, even if the OP did choose to live there, it still doesn't mean a 6am brass band service is reasonable. Of course its not.

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

😂

Didn't they put up any signs to warn people?
Big Brass band fans in this household. Yorkshire coalfield meets Salvation Army. So DH would think this was a special treat.

Ya totally nbu. Never an excuse for that I would be hopping. The combination of intentionally making a racket at 6am on a Sunday and a brass band would tip me over the edge.

YANBU

I would have been bloody fuming. I lived next to a church with my parents for years, not one Easter Sunday were we woken up by a brass band at 6am.

Utterly ridiculous.

Daybreak service fine. Daybreak service including an intrusive brass band? One can't help feeling it's all a touch "look at us, look at us, we're worshipping "

I think if you're that against anything Church like, then staying by a church the night before Easter Sunday, you have to have some idea something will crack off, on the day they celebrate the resurrection of a main figurehead.

I think your child crying and being traumatised by a brass band is a bit OTT.

Maybe you could sue for emotional distress and resulting grumpy kids, woke at 6:30am, when you had a busy day planned. How unreasonable they would use the day of something significant to celebrate something of significance. Brass band / church bells, both would have woke you up.

I think YA a bit U. It's one day. You are next to a church.

We used to have brass bands playing in residential streets when I was a kid. I remember waking up to it on Sundays.

I just asked my DH, he was a regular attendee at a cathedral when he was growing up. He says they had a brass band but the service always started at 5am! So you got off lightly in a way :/

YABVVVVU

Was it actually a brass band? Or some instruments, one of which was a trumpet/euphonium/trombone?

On the most important Christian festival of the year, I'd find it hard to get worked up about, even if it was a colliery band Tbh. Live and let live.

I'd be more pissed off my boyfriend hadn't mentioned it - so on those grounds, YABU.

No-one is saying that this church shouldn't be allowed to celebrate. Away with the faux persecution, Christians in the UK still have a privileged position.

Its just a question of whether they should do it anyway they please without consideration for others. Does god require a lot of noise at daybreak? Jesus's instructions on prayer were rather explicitly about doing it quietly not loudly for all the world to hear.

Stay at your place next Easter. No brass band at our service this morning, just some guitars.

Can't believe you interrupted their worship- how totally rude. bit ironic that you're complaining your Easter Day with family will be spoiled because some people were acknowledging the day properly....

I wouldn't mind. Would probably be a bit shocked. I find it odd a 7 year old would cry about this though. Mine would be climbing out the window to see who was playing the music.

I dont think its surprising the 7yo was woken by it.

I'm a very light sleeper and this would startle me. Wake me up with bagpipes anytime, I love those. Wake me up with a brass band at 6am on a Sunday morning and I'll be placing those instruments up certain proverbials.

YABU. It was only 7 musicians, even if the minister was playing as well. If your partner lives next door to the church then it would have been easy to check the services for the day beforehand!

So you're not allowed to tell people they're being unreasonable at 6am in the morning now because you'll be interrupting their worship otherwise?

It doesn't happen every week Pixies!

I know. I went to church every week for 15 years. I know how these things work. The Minister never had a 6am service. It doesn't matter that it doesn't happen every week though does it? Christmas doesn't happen every week. DMs nearby church was still unreasonable for practising until 1am.

Religious time of the year or not. The OP is perfectly entitled to be peeved that she'd been woken up by a brass band at 6am.

YABVU.

I appreciate the majority of peoples comments on here but some of them are just down right hilarious! 😂 Some people are absolutely clueless 😂😂
I never said my 7 year old was traumatised and yes they have had time off school but as a full time working parent who hasnt been off they still have to get up at 6am every morning.
Big thanks for the understanding people
