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.
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.
