Ft. Mason 'Fest Date Change for 2008!

Mark your calendars now... the 2008 Oktoberfest By The Bay will be on the first weekend in October!

This is a recent change, and a departure from years past -- the 'fest has heretofore been on the 2nd or 3rd weekend in October -- but here at the CBB Blog, we strive to give you 'fest updates as they happen! (And you should expect no less from a Blog that fearlessly uses the word "heretofore"!)

So block out October 2-5, 2008 on your calendar, start picking out your tracht, and practice ordering beer in Hoch Deutsch, because...

You have even less time to wait than you thought before Oktoberfest By The Bay is here once again!

Prost!

All New Photo Layouts!

The photo areas for both The Internationals™ and The Chico Bavarian Band have a new look... and new pictures!

Photos for the 2006 Oktoberfest By The Bay in San Francisco are now available on both sites.

So check out photos of The Internationals™ at www.theinternationals.com/photos/main.php, and CBB photos at www.bavarianband.org/gallery/main.php.

More photos are coming as well. Now that the photo pages have been redesigned, it will be easier than ever to add photos, so check back periodically to see what's new.

If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, feel free to contact the webmaster. Links to the webmaster's email address are available on both sites.

Prost!

Morgan Hill Parade on July 4th

The Chico Bavarian Band will march in the Morgan Hill July 4th Parade on... you guessed it -- July 4th!!

The Morgan Hill Parade is one of the best in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and the CBB is looking forward to participating in this fun family event.

The event will serve essentially as a rehearsal (or perhaps, more accurately, a workout session!) for the band, in preparation for their appearance in the Munich Oktoberfest Parade and Connstatter Volksfest Parade in Stuttgart in September this year.

In case you haven't heard, the band -- along with The Internationals™ -- will be traveling to Germany and Austria this September as part of their 10-day "Oktoberfest Extravaganza 2007" tour through Bavaria. Stops will include not only the cities of Munich and Stuttgart, but also Berchtesgaden, Salzburg, and Konztanz, just to name a few. (If you would like to join the band in Europe, contact Kingsway International and ask them about signing up for the tour!)

But you can get a sneak peak of the band's marching skills right here in the SF Bay Area. If you happen to find yourself meandering through Morgan Hill, CA on the morning of July 4th, find a spot along the parade route and check us out!

After many months, several revisions, and a lot of trial and error on my part, the new and improved web site of The Internationals™ is finally live.

The layout is all new, and we've expanded the content as well. Check it out and see what you think.

And there's more coming; watch for new pictures of the band, as well as some additional online information about their CD's (including sample audio files).

Go to www.theinternationals.com to check out the new site.

Questions or comments about the site can, as always, be directed to me at webmaster at theinternationals dot com.
