Bonnie Williams replied to Michelle's discussion Parade Noise"To those of you who are not bothered by noise, you need to realize that some people are very sensitive to it for various reasons.What some people find charming will make others miserable.

Pantah replied to Michelle's discussion Parade Noise"Michelle, the practice is several days a week, several hours a day up to 8pm or so. Different groups practice in different places. In Bajo Boquete, practice is at the school and fire station.

Keith Woolford replied to Michelle's discussion Parade Noise"Actually, you'll hear drum practice between September and December in the vicinity of every school in Panama.
