Entertainment Night

Ask yourself: what would an Oktoberfest be without polka music and German food?

Not much, that's for sure.

So meet Polkaboy... the loudest, rockingest, craziest band we've ever heard. This band is a perennial favorite around Indianapolis, drawing sellout crowds wherever they play. They've played the National Anthem for Colts games at the RCA Dome, performed on television, and have been featured in numerous local magazines.

These fourteen top-flight musicians blend up-tempo polka, latin, big band, and rock influences, into a carnival of fun, frolic, and, well, beer.

The event is being held in the Biergarten at the fantastic Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis. Transportation is provided. Authentic German food and beverages are provided. Dancing is recommended. Laughter is compulsory.

Join Sigma and Polkaboy for a unique and unforgettable experience.

For more information on Polkaboy, see their Web site at http://www.polkaboy.com.
