Black Sheep German Band, “Schwarze Schafe”, is a family friendly German Band, perfect for an Oktoberfest Celebration or other German Party. This is a five piece group which plays German music, sings in German and in English and does the “Ein Prosit”. We will teach the audience some German words and some German Dances. This band is very entertaining and fun. We can play for a small party in your back yard or a larger celebration at a country club or park. Most of our musical arrangements have been played at the Oktoberfest in Germany.

For smaller venues, a smaller band may be substituted to suit your needs.

Most of the arrangements that “Schwarze Schafe” plays have been played in Germany by another German Band which gave us their music. Our repertoire includes such favorites as “Munchner Oktoberfest”, “Du, Du, Liegst Mir in Herzen”, “Schutzenliesel”, “In Munchen Steht Ein Hoffbrahaus”, etc. with vocals in German as well as English. We do the “Ein Prosit” and teach the audience some German words and some German Dances.

This band is very entertaining and fun. We can play for a small party in your back yard or a larger celebration at a country club, park or church. We encourage the audience to participate in the fun, doing “The Sixteen Days of Oktoberfest”, “Schitzelbank”, “Hand On My Head”, “Vogeltanz”, etc. We do some children’s songs in German and in English. The instrumentation is accordion, tuba, drums, trombone and trumpet.

For smaller parties and budgets, a trio or duo may be substituted. In fact, the duo “Lou and Jan” has become the most popular German package and we call ourselves “Ludwig and Hilda”. Jan also does a solo accordion Oktoberfest Show for small parties which only require an hour of German music.
