About this event
Neue Polka Colorado (NPC) is a polka band for the 21st century. Inspired by the singing, playing, camaraderie, and antics of the town bands of Central Europe (notably Austria and Germany), John McGuire and Chris Van Hof launched NPC in the summer of 2014. The band is exclusively brass instruments and is populated almost entirely by music majors at Colorado State University (where McGuire teaches horn and Van Hof teaches trombone and euphonium). The band's mission is:
1. To strengthen the connection between the CSU Music Department and the Front Range community
2. To celebrate the thriving local craft beer community of the Front Range
3. To provide professional gigging experience for CSU music majors
4. To help people enjoy their time in Colorado's breweries, festivals, and civic events through fun and often funny polka music
Part Oktoberfest, part 1990s mixtape and 100% fun, Neue Polka Colorado will get you dancing at the OCC Christkindlmarket!
