Little German Band and Dancers

|
The Little German Band and Dancers (LGB&D) is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization in Raleigh, North Carolina dedicated to performing German/Bavarian music and dance. The group performs about 150 sets a year, mostly in North and South Carolina, with a few trips farther afield to places like Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, and many U.S. states. The organization is split into two main pieces, the band and the dance group. The band was formed in 1971 and consists of a fairly normal American concert band instrumentation, but with the addition of accordions, cowbells, vocals, and alphorn. The dance group was added in 1973 and performs Bavarian and Austrian Schuhplattler dances as well as folk dances from other areas in and around Germany. Both groups rely on volunteer performers. Performance venues vary from large outdoor Oktoberfests to restaurants/breweries to nursing homes and schools.
