Berger Callers - What's up?

Wisconsin State Square & Round Convention

8/6/2017

I had a blast calling and dancing at the Wisconsin State Square & Round Dance Convention. This was my first time calling and dancing in Wisconsin and I felt very welcome! So glad Mom and Dad let me tag along on their trip!

This weekend was especially memorable as this was my first time calling with a live band! Shout out to the Siegmann family for providing outstanding live music for the Inspiration hour and during the last hour of dancing! Check out the video of my song with the band and some pictures from the weekend below!

The Siegmann family band did a fantastic job on the live music Sunday afternoon!

Always fun working with Dave & Judy Mouton!

Happy New Year!

Celebration 2016

6/28/2016

Our family had a lot to celebrate in the past 6 months!
Teresa and Andrew both graduated with their Bachelor’s Degrees from Indiana University South Bend in December and walked at Commencement in May.
Then in June, Frank and Elisa celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary!

To celebrate all of our achievements, we threw a party! We were honored to have so many family and friends come out to celebrate with us. And what party would be complete without a square dance? Thanks to Tom Davis for the squares (Teresa and Andrew wanted to dance too!) and Pat Bryant for the rounds. And a special thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate & dance with us! We had a great time!
