Hello everyone!
The Feast of the Assumption starts this Thursday at Holy Rosary in Little Italy! Our biggest gig of the season. Here is the schedule:
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, starting at 6 p.m.:
(you will need both lyres and music stands)
6-8 p.m.-we will be taking the Feast to the neighborhood and visiting the shut-ins.
8-8:30: short break
After the break we will be having a sit down concert (2 sets) in front of the school.
8:30-9:15: Set 1
9:15-9:45: short break
9:45-10:30: Set 2 .
Saturday Morning, August 15th:
(lyres only)
The procession will start after the 10 a.m. Mass in front of the church. Since the 15th is on a Saturday this year, assume that the crowds are going to be crazier than ever-try to arrive early so you don't have to park too far. You might want to consider taking the RTA to the new Little Italy stop! Try to arrive as early as possible-in addition to music, you will be given hats and procession scarves.
Sunday Night:
(lyres only)
6 -8:30 (ish): Neighborhood walk
9:30 (ish): Candlelight procession
Times for Sunday night are approximate (except for the 6 p.m. start time!)
We will have a room in the school for set up/place to keep our cases, stands when we are not using them, etc. HOWEVER, only Italian band members will be allowed up in the room-no family members or friends. (Sorry!)
Sunday Morning, St. Rocco's San Nicola
(lyres only)
Also, don't forget the San Nicola procession at St. Rocco's at 11 a.m. It is a small procession around the church, and we will need 10-12 people. Always fun and lunch is included!
That's the Feast for 2015! If you haven't done so already, please email Wayne to let him know when you are able to make it.
Hope to see you there!
Buona Festa!!
It's hard to have any complaints about event halls in Philadelphia. It's easy to get a drink since they actually keep enough bartenders working at once, and you'll almost always find a place to sit. I love the vibe, the area, the people and the food at this place.
