THE MIKE SCHNEIDER
BAND
This past Oktoberfest season was one of our busiest and most
successful to date! We played everything from a back yard party, to a
private Oktoberfest party at a secluded north woods home, to a
permanently docked ship just south of Navy Pier. Plus, for the first
time, we helped kick off Friday's festivities at the La Crosse
Oktoberfest! There was a line waiting to get in already at 9:30 AM. By
the time we started, our tent was packed, and it only got busier as
our set went on. What an amazing Oktoberfest season! And maybe best of
all, most of next year's September and October weekends are already
full with repeat business from this past Fall. Thank you to everyone
who helped make this one of the best Oktoberfest seasons yet!
To wrap up the year,
just take a look at our packed
December schedule! I LOVE Christmas music, and for years have
wanted to expand my December calendar to have the opportunity to
showcase the wide variety of Holiday music that we play. This year,
our December schedule has grown in a very big way! Highlights include
our annual stop at the Pulaski Inn in Cudahy, WI for the Wisconsin
Polka Boosters annual Christmas Dinner & Dance. Plus, I have several
new stops, including Old World Wisconsin for the “Home for the
Holidays” series; the Wauwatosa Holiday Market; and the Carmel
Christkindlmarkt, one of the largest Holiday markets in the United
States! And don’t forget to catch us in between at the Old German Beer
Hall in Milwaukee, the Essen Haus in Madison, and at the La Crosse
Bierhaus! For details on everywhere the Mike Schneider Band is
performing coming up, please check the schedule below, and be sure to

PINT SIZE POLKAS
But wait, there's more! Not only was Oktoberfest season amazing,
this past summer was one very nearly for the record books. I broke the
140 show mark for only the third time since starting my Pint Size
Polkas program in 2009. I visited libraries this summer as far west as
Gallup, NM, to as far east as Falls Church, VA. Thankfully, the shows
went so well, I already have nearly 80 shows booked for next summer,
including my first ever visit to the state of California! My
accordions - and golf clubs - will most definitely be in tow! As
always, if you'd like Pint Size Polkas to visit your local library,
please let your children's librarian, library manager or director
know. There's no place in the lower 48 I won't consider traveling to!
For Pint Size Polkas dates, please visit the
Events page. I'll be posting new events there for 2024 early next
year. Also, if you know of any kids who attend elementary school in
Eau Claire, Amery, Baraboo, or North Freedom, let them know Pint Size
Polkas is coming their way later this school year!
As always, be
sure to join our growing list of fans on Facebook
here, or the Mike Schneider Band

Until next time, best
wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season ahead!
