Italian Band This Weekend

Hello everyone!

This is our last weekend of the season! There is yet another schedule change. Originally we were going to play at a pre-reception reception at Vince's Daughter's wedding at St. Rocco's, but this has been cancelled. The timing just wasn't going to work out for them. I have updated the schedule accordingly.

We will still be playing at St. Michael's. The procession is expected to step off at 1:45 pm, but please be at the church no later than 1:15 pm as we need to take a look at the music, since we don't play it very often! St. Michaels is located at 3114 Scranton Road in Cleveland, at the corner of Scranton and Clark Ave. Take I-71 to W 25th St. Go North on W 25th several blocks, turn right at Clark and then the church is on the right.

As always, please let Jesse know if you can or cannot attend on Sunday.

Hope to see you there!

St. Rocco's (procession only) and a wedding in October.

Hello again, everyone!

Thank you to everyone who showed up for the Feast this year!!!  The weather was unbelievable! Temps in the 70s, an a couple of the evenings were a little chilly !  Not something you would expect for the middle of August.

There have been a few changes to the schedule.  First of all, we will not be playing the evening concerts at St. Rocco's this year, however we WILL be doing the procession.

Also-we've added another gig!  Vince's daughter is getting married this October at St. Rocco's, and we've been invited to play for for about an hour after the wedding at the church hall. (Similar to what we did at Holy Rosary last year).  Mark your calendars for October 5th! (yes, that is the day before St. Michaels this year!) The schedule has been updated and I will post more closer to the day.

THIS WEEKEND:
The procession is at St. Rocco's on Sunday, September 1st starting around 1pm.  Please try to arrive by 12:30, and keep in mind parking may be an issue, as the parking lot is full of vendors and rides for the festival.  As always, if you haven't already done so, please let Jesse know if you can or cannot make it this Sunday.  Thank you!

See you Sunday!

Holy Redeemer-St. Anthony procession 2013

Hi Everyone!

Just a reminder that this Sunday, June 9th, is our first Italian Band gig for the summer!

This is just a procession, so no need to bring music stands, but remember your lyres!  Currently the forecast for Sunday is partly cloudy with highs in the upper 70s.  Although it might be on the cool side, remember there are not many trees along the procession route, so remember to bring water (and sunblock!)

The procession starts after Holy Redeemer's 10:30am Mass, so we will need to be ready to play by 11:30 am.  Please email Jesse if you haven't already done so to let him know you are coming.

Hope to see you there!
