The Feast!!!

It's that time of year again!  Time for the Feast of the Assumption at Holy Rosary in Little Italy!!

The fun starts tomorrow with the procession starting at 11 am.  Please plan to arrive early-with all of the construction happening in the area and it being a normal workday for University Circle, parking will be at a premium.   Don't forget the sunscreen!

Evenings we will step off at 6 pm to walk the neighborhood.  We will have sit down concerts starting at 8:30 pm Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  No sit down on Saturday, but we will be in the candlelit procession starting around 9:30. 

Essential items for the Feast: lyres, music stands, water and Tide-2-Go (white shirts and marinara sauce do not go well together!) 😉 

If you haven't already done so, please let Jesse know if you can attend.

Hope to see you there!

The Feast 2016!

Hi Everybody!

The rough schedule:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 6 pm -10 (ish)  Walk around the neighborhood, followed by a sit down concert, so bring both your lyres and stands.

Monday: Procession at 11 am, evening walk around and the closing candle-lit procession.  As usual, no sit down on the last night.  Lyres only!


If you haven't already done so, please let Jesse know what you can or cannot attend!

The Feast!

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!!

The Feast 2012!!

It's that time of year again!!!  The Feast of the Assumption at Holy Rosary in Little Italy! 

Here's the skinny:

August 15th: Procession at 11 am.   Get there very early-parking is very limited.   Bring water and expect a 2 hour procession.  Don't forget your lyres!

Evenings: August 15th-17th.  6 to about 10:15 pm.   From 6 to 7:30 we will be strolling the neighborhood.  After a break, we will set up in front of the school for concert sets (with breaks) and play until about 10:15 pm.   Don't forget your music stands!!!

August 18th: 6-7:30pm strolling the neighborhood, followed by the closing procession Saturday night.  We shouldn't need our stands, but it might be handy to keep them around, just in case.  (We can always leave them in the ready room if they are not needed).

We should have our usual ready room on the 3rd floor of the school (next to the church).  Meet up there, leave your cases and grab your music, etc. 

Parking will be difficult throughout the Feast-so be sure you leave enough time to park and get your music!

As always, be sure to let Jesse know if you can or cannot attend each night.

Thank you!!!  See you there!
