Those mean old neighbors ! I am sure that if difficult child is on your property he can trumpet away. I have never heard of a noise ordinance in the late afternoon ??? In my town it is 10pm, but every town has different rules I know. Call your town hall and see exactly what your/difficult child's rights are. I have seen many a child marching up the street playing some kind of instrument and my teenage neighbors across the street have their own band and drum away but I encourage it knowing they are being creative and staying out of trouble ! I guess it all has to do with what each person can tolerate. Good Luck and I hope difficult child can resume his trumpeting soon !
