Prologue
Special tribute and thanks to the hosts and the
audiences of the Blaskapelle Gemmingen
Almost 40 musicians from the Blaskapelle
Gemmingen, a traditional wind band from
the South of Germany, will be touring
the Great Lakes area from August 14,
to September 2, 2014. The musicians
are very much looking forward not
only to playing at concerts, but also to
becoming acquainted with the culture and
country of the United States. Through the
international language of music they are
hoping to touch the hearts of the American

audiences and to promote understanding.
Undoubtedly it will be an eventful tour
with abundant interesting and amicable
encounters.
This document is dedicated with heart-felt
thanks to all our friends who have made it
possible for the Blaskapelle to do a group
tour, to the host families and audiences
for the warm hospitality shown to the
musicians on their US tour.

Who we are
The Blaskapelle Gemmingen has been around for 53 years (since 1961). Gemmingen
itself was founded in 769. Its history is closely tied with the history of the Barons of
Gemmingen and their castles in both Gemmingen and Stebbach. In 1925, Stebbach
was incorporated into Gemmingen as well as the township Streichenberg. In 2011, the
Gemmingen wind orchestra celebrated its 50-year anniversary with a party that lasted
for several days.
In the early years, between 1961 and 1969, the local 16-26 member church band
developed into the Blaskapelle Gemmingen, which plays an established role in the
cultural life of the city today.

The Blaskapelle Gemmingen’s musical repertoire includes everything from symphonic
brass, easy listening, Bohemian-Moravian music, “Guggemusigg” (best described as a
cross between big band and noise machine) to Swing-Rock-Pop and Big Band dance
music.
In 1969, the wind orchestra
was an instrumental part of
the Gemmingen community’s
1200 year anniversary. The
event marks the founding of
the official band association
under the name Blaskapelle
Gemmingen.
In the following years, the Blaskapelle Gemmingen distinguished itself under the
conductors Otto Kotsch senior, Otto Kotsch junior, Friedrich Hofner und Werner
Werosta through its participation in several wind orchestra competitions at the
district and national levels, in which the band received several prizes and awards,
as well as through appearances on television and radio.
Today, the Blaskapelle Gemmingen is made up of several ensembles of
diverse styles, such as its wind orchestra and youth orchestra, its Schlosspark
Musikanten, as well as its “Guggemusigg” and big band.
