Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the
SoutheastFloridaDrumCircleCommunity group:

Participants in the Thursday night Delray Beach Drum Circle - please answer the
following poll:

3 obstacles have developed in our use of Old School Square on Thursdays.
1. Art & Jazz on the Avenue occurs 1 Thursday each month on Atlantic Ave.
Starting May 11th (2.5 weeks from now) they will also start using the stage in
Old School Square, so we can't drum there that night. That eliminates one
Thursday each month.
2. Festivals now happen in Old School Square about 1 weekend each month. Often
they begin preparations by Thursday night (fencing off the Square, setting up
tents or other structures, having rehersals on the stage, etc.) That makes
another Thursday each month difficult for our drum circle.
3. Starting this week, the main parking lot east of Old School Square will be a
major construction site, as they build a 4-story parking garage there. This
will make parking even tighter, as those 200 people who would have parked there
fan out through the neighborhood. Drummers with heavy drums don't like having
to park blocks away.

A solution, offered by the management of Old School Square, is for us to shift
our drum circle to another night earlier in the week (Wednesday preferred).
This will "solve" all three problems listed above:
1. We won't be bumped out of our location by Art and Jazz on the Avenue (nor any
other event that they foresee on their official calendar).
2. They never start preparations for weekend festivals that early, so we'll
never encounter that conflict.
3. Parking would be much easier since there would be much less competition on
those quieter weeknights.

From those who've been overseeing this drum circle over the years, I'm told that
simply finding another location is not a good alternative. We've been evicted
from a number of locations because of noise complaints from residential
neighbors. This location has no such neighbors.
Also it is centrally located in the middle of Palm Beach County, convenient for
those both north and south.

o Stay there on Thursday nights and live with the 3 problems.
o Change to Wednesday nights.
o Change to Tuesday nights.
o Change to Monday nights.
o I don't care - any night is fine.
