PA speaker still looping a chant at 9.58 - leftover file or is something actually starting again
9.58, two blocks inland. Procession is home. A shop speaker or a leftover pole is still looping a chant. Kid says "it's starting" and wants to run back. 40-minutes-since-the-last-drum was the during-the-crush second-loop scare. This is 10pm. Second act or a file that nobody switched off.

10pm is not a second Kumbal. Official next start is Saturday 6:28 PM. A looping file on a pole is a shop or a leftover PA. Do not run toward it. Kid in bed.
Table is public. Nothing is scheduled between tonight's 6.40 and tomorrow's 6.28. Ada still has not even posted tonight's finish. A chant on a speaker is not a gazette.
We followed a speaker last night and found a closed souvenir stall with a USB still in it. Hotel was the correct next act.
