WELLINGTON - A New Zealand kindergarten disco was broken up by authorities for pumping out Bob the Builder music too loud.
While the preschoolers were dancing at the One Tree Hill Kindergarten in Auckland, an unhappy neighbor was busy complaining, The Dominion Post newspaper reported on Tuesday.
A red-faced noise control officer from the local council turned up at 6.30 pm and told partgoers that the music was too loud, and they would have to turn it off.
"I think he must have been pretty embarrassed... we're planning to frame the notice," head teacher Lisa Gordon told the newspaper.
Luckily for the kids it was close to bedtime, with the disco scheduled to finish at 7pm.
The disco was an annual event, and this was the first time noise had been a problem,
Gordon said.
