Germania Blaskapelle

Wir machen Musik! We’re making music!

The Germania Blaskapelle performs music that would typically be heard at Oktoberfest or at a German village band concert. As the newest subgroup of the German American Societies in San Diego, the band is recruiting musicians and individuals wishing to serve on the band’s leadership team.

Rehearsals take place most Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. at the Club (unless otherwise posted). Band members may bring guests with them to rehearsal, and the bar is usually open for their convenience.

Germania Blaskapelle will generally program at least two concerts a year at the German Club. Outside of club concerts members will have the opportunity to perform at local band festivals, community events, will have the option to travel to Las Vegas in January for the weekend-long German American Mardi Gras Association (GAMGA) festival – an exhibition that draws German Clubs from around the United States, Canada and beyond!

The group is always open to new members and volunteer support.

• To join the band, musicians must be able to read music, and they must bring their own instruments to rehearsal.
• Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and tear-down for events, to assist with fundraising for events, and also to serve as officers. Playing members may apply for officer positions.

The group is open to new music, but band membership will have the final decision as to what is played.

If you would like more information about the group, stop by the Club on a Wednesday evening, or email your questions to GermaniaBlaskapelleSD@gmail.com and we will get back to you.

NOTE: If you are interested in joining the Blaskapelle, you must first be a member of the German American Societies of San Diego. Click HERE to learn more and start the process.
