Salvation Army Brass Band returns

A couple of years ago, the sound of a brass band floated through our flat. This morning, it returned.
Our local Salvation Army brass band make a point of visiting a local green – I hesitate to define it as “village green” because ours is more akin to a “cul-de-sac green” – to play and bring the message of worshiping God on a Sunday.
It is a lovely sound to have wafting in from outside. Though not all local residents agree.
Talking with one of the group, I learned that they have had to alter the schedule of such unannounced public performances due to complaints by residents about the noise. This morning’s event happened around 10.30, an hour or more later than previously. I don’t know about you, but even if this had woken me up this morning, I could find no offense or annoyance in the sound of this type of music.
