Thank you and schedule update

Hello everyone!!

First of all, many thanks for those of you who were able to attend the 4th of July parade and Mt. Carmel!  We couldn't do this without you! 😊   Our next gig is at Holy Redeemer on August 5th-hope to see you there!

Second, there has been a slight change to our schedule this year- San Nicola at St. Rocco's was originally scheduled for Sunday, August 12th at 11:00am.   This has been moved to the following Sunday, August 19th at 1:00pm.  I've updated the schedule page and reminders will be sent via email and in person at Holy Redeemer. 

Everyone rest up their chops-the Feast is less than a month away!  😉

St. Rocco's San Nicola

Hello everyone!

Many thanks to everyone who made it out to the Feast last week-as always, we really appreciate it!  Jen Picciano from Channel 19 happened to be at one of the first houses we stopped at Sunday night, and posted a video of us playing to Facebook!  I posted them to our Facebook page, and I will try to post them here for the folks who are not on Facebook.

THIS SUNDAY!  August 21st is the San Nicola procession at St. Rocco's.  This is a very short procession around the church, followed by lunch and more playing!  Please arrive by 10:45am (no later than 11am).  Bring lyres, no stands.

If you haven't already, please let Jesse know if you can make it.

Hope to see you Sunday!

SCHEDULE CHANGE! St. Rocco's San Nicola

Hello everyone!

First of all, many thanks to everyone who came to the first night of the Feast, despite the less than ideal weather conditions!  We got a little rained on, but nothing we couldn't handle! The crowd loved us!

For those of you who couldn't make it last night and missed the announcement-there has been a slight change in our schedule.  San Nicola at St. Rocco's, which was originally scheduled for tomorrow morning, has been postponed until next Sunday, August 21st.   I will update our schedule page to reflect the change.

Hope to see you all tonight!

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!!
