In past years, the downtown Marshfield business community sponsored an annual "Mad Market Days" promotion in the month of July.  One of the band's summer season concerts would typically fall on the same week as the promotion.  For that concert, band members were allowed to forego their usual, more formal band attire and, instead, were encouraged to be creative and to come in a costume, or to simply dress up in something silly, unusual or just plain crazy!  Here are a few examples:

     

"The Blues Brothers" made an appearance at the Mad Market
Days concert in the Summer of 1997.  From l-r:  Mike Schoenfuss
and Dave Wagner, both trumpet players.  Note that Mike has his
trumpet case handcuffed to his wrist, in the style of Elwood Blues.

"The Coneheads" made an appearance at the Mad Market Days concert
in the Summer of 1998.  Trumpet section members, from l-r:  Jean Nitschke,
Carol Graewin, Mike Schoenfuss, Dave Wagner and Martin Schultz.



Several cast members from "Gilligan's Island" made an appearance at the Mad Market Days
 concert in the Summer of 2000.  From l-r:  Mike Schoenfuss(trumpet) as "The Skipper";
 Mike's nephew, Ryan, as "Gilligan"; Jean Nitschke(trumpet) as "Mary Ann";
and Dave Wagner(baritone) as "Mrs. Howell".
