BACKSTORY
In this version of the classic Oktoberfest hit, the story takes a refreshing turn.
Liesl is no longer the lucky charm in the story—she’s the one behind the scope.
Now, Schützenliesl is the skilled shooter who wins the contest, and Schützenhansl is her supportive companion. Our modern twist not only flips the traditional roles, but also celebrates female confidence and skill, bringing new life to a song while honoring its roots.
THE VIDEO
Join us at the Indianapolis Liederkranz in downtown Indianapolis for a musical journey as the Liederkranz German Band brings Bavarian flair to the Midwest! With trumpets, a deep tuba, and that full brass sound, The Liederkranz German Band sets the stage for a celebration steeped in tradition.
At the center of it all is Anne Fuchs—not only a gifted vocalist, but also a sharp shooter with her eye on the prize. Follow the story of a classic Schützenfest (German shooting competition), where Anne not only leads with her voice but takes aim herself in the competition…and wins it all!
