If you play an instrument, join the Simcha Band! We’re always looking for new members to join our troupe! All ages welcome!
The 6th annual Purim Band will perform on Wednesday evening, March 20 during the Megillah reading and evening service. We hope you can participate as every musician is special to us. Although we’ve been playing the same repertoire (more or less) these past few years, we still need to rehearse. Also, when newcomers join us, they need some practice time with the band.
We will have ONE rehearsal Wednesday, March 6, 6-7:00 PM.
Here is the tentative playlist:
- Purim Medley
- Al HaNissim (we also play this on Chanuka so check your Chanuka music)
- Wicked Wicked Man
- La Kova Sheli
- Ani Purim
- Ze HaYom Purim
We also play some folksongs and may include:
- Artza Alinu
- Tzena
- Chiribim
- Od Yavo Shalo Aleinu – Salaam
