The brass-band players

Schosers in Burladingen have already previously attracted our attention as having 'rhythm in their blood'. As reported back in 2009, no less than four Schosers were then members of Burladingen's local musical ensemble.

The passion and talent for music seems to have been passed on to the next generation. Once again, no less than four Schosers participated in a concert of the youth music school Burladingen in the Hörschwag community centre on Sunday, 19 November 2017.


Fabian and Valentin Schoser were part of the trumpet ensemble that opened the concert. Marian and Daniel Schoser joined the two and others as part of the brass ensemble that played 'First Performance' and 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' later on. Marian played the trombone and Daniel the euphonium. Needless to say that the performance was met with thunderous applause as Südwest Presse reports.

Oierrusala

Egg-and-spoon race, one of the two events
of 'Oierrusala'

It is a tradition whose origin even the oldest members of Burladingen's hiking association cannot remember. It already existed when they were children. Every year on Easter Monday, the hiking association organises 'Oierrusala'. It is a competition with two events: egg toss and egg-and-spoon race.

This year, about 50 participants and visitors were present and cultivated the tradition. Defying icy winds and rain showers, Valentin Schoser won the egg-and-spoon race. It is not reported if that gained him a prize, but in any event he must have brought his Easter egg safely over the finishing line and could then enjoy it without regret.

In the world champs' footsteps

Just a few days after Germany won the football world cup, Daniel and Valentin Schoser have taken part in the national athletics day at their primary school in Burladingen. The competition consisted of long jump, 50 meters and rounders.

While about half of the 208 participating pupils scored sufficient points to obtain gold or silver certificates, Valentin and Daniel went even beyond and finished best in their respective gender and age groups (*2005 and *2006). Moreover, Daniel scored most points of all participating boys and is therefore the boys' school champion.
