THE OTTO SCHWARZFISCHER BAND TAKE CARE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
The Schwarzfischer band is Oktoberfest's longest serving musical
ensemble. The Schwarzfischer (black fishermen) played the music
accompanying the toast made after the first barrel was tapped by Thomas
Wimmer (called Wimmer Dammerl) back in 1950. In keeping with their motto
of "traditional and modern", conductor Christian Sachs and his
musicians play Bavarian brass band music for guests to enjoy by day and
party hits to get the evening in full swing. Unforgettable hours in the
Schottenhamel are guaranteed.
