Fritz’s Polka Band Plays to Standing Room Only Crowds at New York State Fair

On Tuesday, September 1, 2009, Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz’s Polka Band (FPB) from Verona, NY, performed three different shows at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, NY that drew three standing room only crowds!

FPB played in the International Building.

“This year was the first time my Dad (founding FPB member, Fred Scherz, Sr.) wasn’t able to play at the New York State Fair with us, because he’s bravely battling cancer and we sure missed him,” said Fritz Scherz, band leader of Fritz’s Polka Band.

“We had three big crowds for each show and the guys in my band had an awesome time! The audience was very enthusiastic all day. Some of the tunes they applauded loudest for included ‘Bialczak’s Polka,’ ‘Tribute’ (original song we dedicated to the Veterans), and ‘Pay Me My Money Down’ (song we did at the conclusion). The audience did a great sing along during ‘Beer Barrel Polka, too.’

The members of FPB want to thank Sharron Pearson for booking FPB, as well as the following people who helped with logistics: Joann (building manager) and Rob (sound guy). Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank all of the people that attended our performances and helped make it so memorable!”
