There are many, many valid and reasonable arguments on both sides of the issue, some obvious and some less so, but after weighing all of them at length, it was decided that this decision will make the most people the happiest.
A few questions have come up regarding this decision, the most pressing of which is "Am I still allowed to drum, and if so, where?" The answer is yes, absolutely! For starters, there will be some semi-organized drumming at the drum sales booth in the craft area at the festival. We also always encourage jam sessions, pickin' and grinnin', and other homemade musical campsite activities. We just request that if your neighboring campsite asks you to quiet down or take it elsewhere, you respect their wishes.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you might have about this issue - we know it's a tough one, but we're just trying to make the best possible situation for as many people as possible.
