In the previous post, we started our history notes related to the early Sängerfest events in Texas. Today, we write about the festivals that took place after the Civil War time (in the years 18870-1881) Read our notes and the included newspaper clippings. Find the answers to these questions: In which years did the choir of Fredericksburg participate in Sängerfest? When did an orchestra become part of the Sängerfest program? How much was the St. Louis orchestra paid? When did the tradition of the masschoirs start? Is there your ancestral name listed among the 1879 Sängerfest participants? How many days did the 1881 Sängerfest celebrations last? Which mean of transportation helped most Sängerfest participants get to Galveston in 1881?

175th Anniversary of Fort Martin Scott

  March 8th, 2024 We were honored to be part of the celebrations marking the 175th anniversary of Fort Martin Scott .   As you can here in the recordings, it was a very windy evening.   After the event, the Choirs' received this kind thank you note: "Please pass along our thanks to everyone in the choirs who were part of this afternoon's ceremony and this evening's concert.  They did a tremendous job.  We always enjoy hearing the German choirs, as it reminds us of the lovely years we spent in Germany.  Your concert prior to the start of the ceremony itself helped tie the fort to the local community that was established here by the time the soldiers arrived.  And your rendition of the German anthem at the beginning of the Army Band's concert was a great reminder that those German settlers still cherished their own heritage. Thank you, in particular, for facilitating the participation of the choirs.  Without your help, this probably wouldn't have happened."
