Karneval is not only celebratedIn Mainz or in Cologne on the Rhein,But any fool knows the best of allIs Karneval in the Phoenix Club in Anaheim.

A welcome from your Prince and PrincessTo begin this Karneval time,“They’ve chosen the Schützen-King, no less!”Let me explain how both crowns can be mine.

Your Prince’s motto, Bis vivit qui bene vivit,Means “He lives twice who lives well”.Karneval gives us a double life, doesn’t it?So the Schützen King is the Prince of fools as well.

Tonight your double life begins, But this fool’s season is not very long.Each of us is allowed a few little sins. Mine will be Beer, Women, and Song.

This second life you can live as you choose,No longer a slave to your inhibitions.Some may pretend to be flirty or looseAllowing them to liberally spread affection.

Die Mütze und Krone fühlen sich an bequemals ob wir schon einmal hier waren.Die Familie Klopsch und unsere Männer, die hier stehenHaben Karneval gelehrt schon für 20 Jahre.

Tritt ein, hier bist du unter Freunden, Zum Karneval ist das zweimal wahr.Mit Lachen vergisst man alle die Sorgen. Unsere Mission ist doch Kristallklar.

Your Prince proclaims Kussfreiheit across the land,But, by all means, be discreet.Your girlfriends will probably understand, But I doubt your wife will agree.

They say all good speeches must come to an endAnd the end of this speech is now.We lift our glasses and begin our Reign with a resounding “Phoenix Helau!”

Der Vorstand des Phoenix Clubswünscht allen Karnevalisteneine erfolgreiche Session!

Phoenix Helau!Hans Holste, Präsident

Weisheit aus der Bütt!One of the great traditions of Karnevalare the Büttenreden, where the “fools”had the opportunity to make fun of thegovernment. The Phoenix Club contin-ues this tradition of German satire withtheir Prunksitzung.

As the “Royal Guard” to the Prince and Princess of the AnaheimKarnevalsgesellschaft, we pride ourselves on creating high-energy danceroutines each year, to entertain audiences at Karneval and German culturalevents throughout the year. We have a co-ed group, which allows us to docheerleading and “swing” type stunts in addition to our traditional kicklines, line dance and ballet moves. We particularly enjoy creating “theme”dances to go along with the Phoenix Club themes for each Karneval event.

Last year our Funkenmariechen (soloist) and Tanzpaar (dance pair)traveled to German Embassy in Washington, DC to perform at a“Black Tie” Karneval event. In previous years members of our grouptraveled to Germany to participate in Karneval festivities in Köln(Cologne) and performed in several surrounding towns.

This year we had the opportunity to have coaching and choreographylessons for our “South of the Border” Samba routine from anaccomplished Latin Ballroom Champion, Jennifer Bagwell-Kay, whoalso choreographed the “Tango” part of this year’s Tanzpaar routine.Our Tanzpaar recently started taking lessons from Buddy Schwimmerof 5,6,7,8 Dance Studio. Buddy was the Choreographer for the dancingin the movie “American Graffiti.” Buddy’s son Benji Schwimmer wasthe winner of the 2006 season of popular reality TV competition “SoYou Think You Can Dance”, plus his niece Heidi (2006) and daughterLacey (2007) have placed in the top four on the show. We are excitedto have the opportunity to learn from such accomplished dancers.

We currently have 14 dancers in the Prinzengarde: Funkenmariechen(soloist): Kirsten Walter, Dance Captain: Angela Kiesel, Tanzpaar(dance pair): Rob & DeeAnne Gunnemann, plus: Kurt Hauptmann,Mona Lübke, Gary Bonie, Jillian Carter, Matt Gunnemann, LettyLenoir, Heidi Davis, Robert Claus, Vivian and Katy Ringen. Ourdancers range in age from teens to 40’s, consisting mainly of studentsand working adults. Previous dance experience is not necessary tojoin, but lots of enthusiasm, and the willingness to learn and participateis required.
