International Fest '09: Fanfare for the Common Madisonian

As they do every year, the Swiss Alphorns of New Glarus began the International Fest with a couple tunes in the Overture Lobby.



After the first song, the ringleader, Heinz Mattman, got onstage and gave a brief introduction to the alphorn. They're made out of pine and were used back in Switzerland to communicate from mountain top to mountain top. He didn't specify exactly what was communicated, however.



"Have you seen Heidi?"
