Hey All,
Please read details and respond below to let us know if you can make it and what your thoughts are on set list, costuming etc.
So far Millee has suggested:
-Eyes on the Prize and A Las Barricadas, which sound good to me. Others?
-Meeting at 5:30 at the latest to do a quick run through? It seems
like we could meet across the street from the place it is at, outside if the
weather is nice, at the corner of Livingstone St (looks like there may
be an outside seating area or playground?) or meet inside if the
weather is crappy.
-What other tunes?
Could Just a Closer Walk work? Would we want to try Bella Ciao? Others?
-Other details, they were asking us to play for an hour or less between 6-7
-Map to the location is here:
Providence
Firefighters' Memorial Hall
90 Printery Street, Providence, RI 02904

-It's not a parade or a protest, it seems to be an annual party/awards
thing, so we may want to consider more social/semi-formal/rockstar
costuming? (Basically Red an White and Yellow/Gold stuff but lighter
on the fishnets and onesies and underarmour and zombie makeup?
Otherwise, whatever you feel comfortable rocking)
Music:
So here's two versions of Eyes on the Prize to check, both in the same key and the key we will likely play:

A Las Barricadas: (Starts on my D which is probably C for most of y'all?)

Bella Ciao: Starts slow, gradually picks up speed and energy. Low end and Drums hold it down, melody repeats. What key?

How do people feel about those and other possible songs (just a closer walk with thee, tamo, MJ, others?)
