German Fest 2012

On Sunday, July 29th, members of the Madison Maennerchor participated in the annual Milwaukee German Fest Church Service. This year’s service is Lutheran, and we heard many fine youthful speakers as they read in both german and english. The celebration was in the Henry Maier Festival Ground’s Marcus Amphitheater. We had a wonderful, spiritual time, surrounded by friends in the “pew” and on stage. The Freistadt Alte Kameraden band provided a wonderful musical foundation for our singing.

Among the more than 200 choristers on stage were MMC members
Fred Berger
Klaus Bodenstein
Bill Dries
Paul Essert
Mel Grulke
Joe Johnson
Ron Kycek
Morris Sadicario
Greg Tatusko

MMC singing at Essen Haus Madison February 13, 2010

We had a fine turnout tonight for our 158th anniversary Stiftungsfest at Essen Haus, Madison. (February 13, 2010) We sang a few songs (using our nice song binders – thanks, Tim) and made it a challenge for the wait staff to take orders!

The spirits and conviviality are evident from these pictures.
