Quick Summary

• DATE: Sunday, December 17, 2017
• TIME: 4 PM- 6PM (approx)
• MEETING PLACE: Jackson Square T Station. If the weather is HORRIBLE we'll meet on the platform. If it's good enough to go outside, we'll meet under the roof just outside the station.
• WEATHER: if weather IS in fact terrible, Extreme, we will sing on the train and at various stops up and down the Orange Line. If it's Good or Marginal, we will go door to door because it's a lot more fun. 
• DRESS: for the weather! Generally about one more layer than you'd think, we'll be standing and singing which is colder than walking.
• MUSIC: both sheet music books and lyrics-only books will be provided, please return when done! See Scores/Practice page for practice materials, which I'm posting as I have time.

What to Bring

Warm Clothing- wear one more layer than usual! Hats, gloves, long underwear, boots, etc. It gets chillier standing and singing than many more active outdoor activities,

Light  To see the caroling book

Merriment  Goes without saying, really

A little cash  Not necessary, but we will be accepting donations for supplies for Puerto Rico hurricane victims. Also, dinner groups may form and go out afterwards.

WHAT IS THE CAROLING MOB?

The Caroling Mob is...

Organized by Joel Sindelar in Jamaica Plain, the Boston Caroling Mob is an open invitation to singers from all over Boston, to gather together in Jamaica Plain and sing carols door-to-door, choro-a-mano. Free and open to merry singers of all ages, abilities, races, orientations, denominations, etc. 

The Caroling Mob usually numbers more than 100 singers and lasts about 2 hours, starting at 4pm on the Sunday before Christmas Eve. We meet at a stop on the MBTA's Orange Line; if it rains, we sing on the T; if it's clear or snowing, we walk through the neighborhood ringing doorbells.

WHAT WILL WE SING?

Carols & Classes

We use a caroling book put together by Joel over the years; usually 1 or 2 new songs might appear each season. While the whole book is not available online, some recordings and scores are available on the Scores/Practice page.

LEARNING THE CAROLS
​NO CLASSES IN 2017- send emails if you'd like them in the future, they are by demand!
