A reminder, a schedule change, and a thanks!

August 15th Procession, Little Italy















The Feast 2011

First of all, a big THANK YOU! to all those who were able to make it to the Feast this weekend!!!  It's one of our toughest jobs, and we really appreciate all the help we can get!  Fr. Racco even stopped by as we were lining up for the evening procession to say he had been hearing all weekend long how wonderful  we sounded!  The weather even cooperated-for the most part, anyway.   We were rained out of our sit down concert Sunday evening, but the rain led to cooler temperatures for the procession Monday morning!


We're not done yet!!  Just a reminder that we are at Saint Rocco's this Sunday for the San Nicola procession around the church starting at about 11 am. Hope to see you there!

Also, there has been a slight change to the schedule. The Lord of Miracles procession at St. Michael's is Sunday, October 2nd. (NOT the 9th!!) Be sure to mark the change in your calendars!

The Feast, 2011




Just a reminder-the Feast of the Assumption starts tomorrow!!!  We will be playing Friday-Monday.


The (rough) schedule: Friday/Saturday/Sunday: neighborhood walk-about starts at 6pm, with a sit down concert starting around 8:15pm (don't forget your music stands!!!)




 Monday's schedule: Morning procession, starting around 11am.  Monday even we start around 6pm (neighborhood walk-about), followed by the evening procession, starting sometime after 9pm.  (There will be fireworks!) ;)

Since my last couple of posts have lacked pictures, I thought I would share a few(more)  from the Feast last year.  (Yes, there are quite a few-this is the biggest gig of the season, after all. ;) )
