Gauverband Nordamerika

This is a very busy time of year if you are involved with today’s youth. Between the ending of the school year and Gaufest 2017 only days away, there is a lot of excitement in the year. Here is a quick update:

Learn more about the Bavarian traditions of the Alphorn and Fingerhackeln--two workshops that are sure to be educational as well as fun. The Kinderzimmer and Jugendecke are going to be a great way for our young people to meet and have fun together (even more info in a separate post).  Click on "Read More" below for more detail.

The line-up for Jugend Einzelplatteln & Einzelpreisplatteln is now available at this link.  You can view, download, or print.  Contact Diane Meck with any changes or corrections.  The list will be reissued before the Gaufest with any changes.  Looking forward to seeing all our young people dance at the Gaufest!

Take a look at the plans I have for the archive display at the Gaufest!  Click on "Read More" below.  Looking forward to seeing all of you!

A popular event at every Gaufest!  Come and enjoy music and dance and Kameradschaft!

The Gauheimatabend mit Boarischem Tanz begins at 8 pm Friday, June 30, in the Ballroom of the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center. Here's what it's all about:

The Volksmusik Stube has become a popular place to gather at any hour of the day or night at Gaufeste. The room is open starting at 6 pm Thursday night until the weekend is over. Musicians, singers, dancers, and music lovers can be found there at any time. Go there to learn a dance, share some Volksmusik, or enjoy the Gemütlichkeit. This year the room will have a few scheduled events, but the rest of the time is unstructured. The Gaukapelle will have a rehearsal on Friday.
