Swinging Bavarians Liven up Republican Events in Tampa




This picture is of a good looking polka music group called the Swinging Bavarians. The band is composed of all Schonfeldt close relatives like Bill and his wife Mary, their children and their husbands.

They advertise as Authentic German Music for all Occasions and can be contacted at 352-624-3033.

From their About page:

QUOTE

The Swinging Bavarians is a German Bavarian band based in Central Florida that perform authentic and traditional Bavarian attire known as, ‘Lederhosen (that’s right, leather pants!) and Dirndls’.

But, it doesn’t stop there!

The Swinging Bavarians come complete with ‘Miesbacher hats and feathers’, ‘Wadl Strümpf’ (2 piece socks) and those beautifully decorated beer steins!

In fact, their entire wardrobe has been imported from Germany and Austria. Bill Schoenfeldt, the leader of the band, was also imported, born in Nürnberg, Germany in the state of Bayern (Bavaria). He started the group with his brothers and close family friends -- and now the band has grown to include his three adult children.

The Swinging Bavarians play all the favorite and traditional songs of the Oktoberfest season as well as a wide variety of musical styles for all audiences to enjoy!

I had three requests to dance the polka, one by a pretty young lobbyist from D.C., but being in my tennis shoes and memories of the last time I was enticed to the dance floor. It took me two months to repair my strained hip.

Great time and great people.
