We want to say a huge
THANK YOU !!!
to our friend, fellow traveler, Disney fan and lover of polka music (especially if there's a tuba), Major Henderson, for his very generous gift and sponsorship of our music. Words can not express how we feel. We just hope we can live up to this earthly blessing and pass it forward someday down the road.

Choctaw Oktoberfest 2018 was a blast. Need to brush up on your Fliegerlied? Brad Karnes captured the whole thing on Friday night with a delightful crowd in Choctaw!

Travel with us to Europe! See the Alps and Vienna in summer 2019! (two double occupancy rooms left!)

Or travel with us to see Berlin, Potsdam, Dresden, and more in 2020!

We like to give back whenever we can to the communities that support our music and the events where we are hired to entertain. We are proud to report that $2017.00 was raised for hurricane disaster relief this Oktoberfest season! $237.00 was spent right away to purchase and donate items that were needed immediately at the East Fort Bend Human Ministry. On November 28, we finally got the rest of the funds counted ($1780.00) and sent off to Hurricane Disaster Relief through our church https://wels.net/hurricane-harvey-updates/ This would not have been possible without your support and generosity! Thank you so much!

Das Ist Lustig's high energy festival shows are fueled by Siegi's!
Look for their booth at your local German festival! Siegi's Sausage Factory has been hand-making sausages since 1980. Siegi’s is a family owned and run local business in Tulsa, OK. Siegi Sumaruk, a fifth generation sausage maker from Linz, Austria, uses recipes passed down from his family.

Das Ist Lustig is a fabulous entertainment group that made our son’s rehearsal dinner something that will be favorably remembered by our guests for the rest of their lives. Rather than just playing music, as other bands do, Das Ist Lustig engages the audience by allowing it to become part of the act itself. That’s what make Das ist Lustig so fun and unique! If you want to turn a good party into a great one, Das Ist Lustig is where you should turn!! Thank you Valina and Ross for making a wonderful lifetime memory.

The trip with Valina and Ross to Germany this past summer was beyond fun....We do not have any complaints. I liked very much the food (except for the oxtail soup..lol) the bus was very comfortable, the scenery and all the experiences was superb, the hotels were great...loved, loved the breakfasts. and most fun of all was the entertainment by Valina and Ross every night at dinner.

Valina, it's been over five years since you and your band of friends and dancers came to our aid after hurricane Ike. So many of us were absolutely lost and without direction as to a future, but for several hours you made all of us laugh, and dance, and to forget about our troubles even though there were mountains of debris everywhere, still Das Ist Lustig allowed us the great fun we so desperately needed. We are so looking forward to your return! See you Saturday! Your friends in San Leon, Ginger Grutzius

Great performance by your band, at the Mollie B. We enjoyed your dance lessons at Ennis. Double thumbs up. Same goes for the T shirts. Eveyone was complimenting Betty's "Valinapolka.com" T shirt she wore on Sun. 24th.

Just saw you on Mollie B on RFD. Loved the cow bell playing. You were very entertaining and sounded great. Thanks for keeping Polka alive!
