The Our Lady of Good Counsel Band, also known as the Mazza Band celebrates its centennial this year and once again performed during the procession after the Mass for Santa Marina this year on July 15.
Playing the traditional music of the Italian culture, the band plays following the mass that commemorates the patron saint of Filandria, Italy — Santa Marina — the small town in the Calabria region from where Italian immigrants who came to Inwood more than 100 years ago originated from.
The Santa Marina Society of Inwood, founded in 1921, supports both the religious celebration and the two-day Santa Marina Feast, which took place July 14 to 15, across from Our Lady of Good Counsel Church.
