Without an official programme sheet, can we read the drum cues so we know another troupe is about to turn the corner for First Randoli. Not procession order or tusker timing charts.

Watch how the crowd turns their heads and how the drum volume rises before a new troupe fills the corner — that is your cue without a programme sheet. Stay off the lane while you look.
