History about Spitzingseer - Almmusi


Our history started on 12. July 2003 as I - Peppi Wunderle - was asked from the hostess of the "Alte Wurzhütte"
(set at the Spitzingsee) if it was possible to arrange a music-evening inside her pup. So, I promised to set up a
music group and/or a "Tanzlmusik" in the Bavarian style.

Now I had my first gig - but no musicians to play exept myself playing the Cornet. After spending quite a lot time
thinking about it, an old friend - Seppi Hinterseer - crossed my mind, with whom I was already playing at the
Schlierseer Blasmusik the last few years and asked him about his opinion about this project.
He did not hesitate very long and was fairly thrilled by the idea to participate in our group, playing the Bass Trumpet.
However, there was still missing an accordion for the intermediate melodies and a tuba for the support.
As for the Accordion, I finally asked - Lenzi Pichler -, who I heard playing at a birthday celebration some time ago.
The problem with the Tuba could not be solved as simply as the Accordion, because all people playing Tuba in our
area already were engaged in other music groups/chapels or smaller bands and were not to persuade that easily.
Nevertheless, during a telephone conversation I could persuade - Andi Lechner - to take part in our group
- so we were complete.

Our first practice gig took place on the 29.07.2003 on spitzingsee at the "Alte Wurzhütte" which was offered
to us from the hostess to use for our practice-stuff. Although, we all came from different groups and bands we
could manage to play as "one" band fairly quickly and had a large repertoire soon after. During the first meeting
at the spitzingsee we agreed on the name:

"Spitzingseer - Almmusi"
