Gauverband Announcement

Bayerischer Rundfunk reporter Barbara Leidl was at our Gaufest to do a report about Trachtler in North America. Her first written report was published on the BR website recently, complete with many photos she took.  Take a look at the link.  And stay tuned for her one-hour radio report to be broadcast on Bayern 2  on August 30 at 12:05 pm (German time).   Link to Article

At the 2014 Delegates Meeting, Gau-Musikwart Rick Michels distributed a list of links to sites to download notes for Volksmusik and Volkslieder. A great resource for musicians and singers!  You can find the link under the “Music” tab or click on this link: Where to find Volksmusik

The deadline to register for Einzelpreisplatteln to be held at this year's Gaufest is June 10. Dancers must be registered through the on-line registration system set up by the host Verein, D'Oberlandler Milwaukee. The administrator for each Verein has the necessary access to complete this task. This deadline is set by the dance officers of the Gauverband to coincide with the upcoming judges training session this weekend. At that meeting, the dance order for the Einzelpreisplatteln couples will be determined.

Here are links to three videos about the grand opening festivities in Holzhausen on May 2, 2015.  The fourth link takes you to five articles from Bavarian newspapers about the opening.

Gauvorstand Tom Vogt, Ehrengauvorstand Walter Wieand, Gaubeisitzer Bob Hugel, and Gaufahnenträger Klaus Vikari are on their way to Bayern to take part in the grand opening of the Trachtenkulturzentrum in Holzhausen. The festivities on Saturday, May 2, will start with a church service in the inner courtyard of the complex and continue all day and Sunday. As each of the buildings has been completed over the last 10 years, there has been an opening to celebrate its introduction.
