Prost! Rockville German Band

About Us. Prost! Rockville German Band was founded in 2010 as an adjunct to the Rockville Concert Band. The 12-25 member band, in costume, performs hundreds of authentic German, Austrian and Swiss polkas, waltzes & marches. Listen to our audio recordings further down on this page. We are brass, woodwind, and percussion players. Proceeds from performances go to Rockville Concert Band treasury or to purchase new music and supplies. Official Oktoberfest 2023 is Sept. 16 - Oct. 3, but German folk music is great all year long! Check out this link to a performance in an educational setting: https://vimeo.com/883394749. It’s too long for our web page.

Note: We are looking for volunteer dancers in traditional Bavarian garb. Contact gailhorn@verizon.net.
