Quote from: milos on July 03, 2025, 08:24:48 AMMilitary orchestras like this, I don't know if you call them brass bands or marching bands, I believe they were popularized somewhere in the 19th century, and they have inspired the civilians to also form brass bands.

This is The Representative Orchestra of the Guard of the Army of Serbia, performing at International Festival of Military Music, Liege, Belgium, September 16th 2018, for the celebration of one century from the WWI.


Nice. In is book Ethnic America, Thomas Sowell said that the German contribution to America was that it was OK to drink and have fun. Compare to the rather dour puritans. WI and MN have large German population. At my wedding long ago we had a small 3 piece polka band. I recall one was a tuba.

At football games males would pair up with cheerleaders and do the polka. No cheerleaders in this video.
