About this Event
Expect a party with traditional German Polka and Octoberfest music from the Alpen Band.
Our music was mostly German folk with a bit of American pop.
In the year 2000, we reorganized and became the AlpenBand California, a 4-piece group (accordion, trumpet, clarinet, and drums). We updated our music to today’s Volkmusik genre, adding the modern Oberpolka style. Whereas Polka has always been nicknamed Oompah with a 2/4 feel, the Ober style is a 4/4 style. This also launched us into disco polka, disco samba, and other current up tempos. We also changed from the typical German dance or polka band into high energy performing band with special costumes and even new audience participation dances.
