Saturday night at St. Anthony’s Church when the 4:00pm Mass was over and the Church had emptied out, Arlene and Pierre and their families approached the very same Altar where they renewed the vows that were said 50 years ago.
Presiding today was Father LaFache and Deacon Bill Dischiavo.
Along with the Feast of St. Anthony, the church was celebrating 100 years.
At 8:00pm, the Red Band held its’ first concert of the season under a big tent by the food pavilion. We had a large band – 41 musicians including 7 trumpets, 6 trombones, 16 reeds and new this year a bassoon played by Tyler Colvin.

And more Tradition: our senior member, trombonist Frank Rossi, brought his great-grandson Nolan to sit with him on trombone. It carries on another Red Band tradition of family members playing along side each other.
Listen close to the music – we’re playing “The Barber of Seville” as well as a new arrangement of “O Solo Mio”. These along with an old time song called “The Woodpecker Song” were all well received by the large St. Anthony crowd.
VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!!!
