What is the SOLDIER SHOW?The 2010 U.S. Army Soldier Show is a high-energy 90-minute live musical production that showcases the talents of active duty Soldiers who were selected by audition from throughout the Army.

They come from unit supply, medical and emergency, animal care, transportation and aviation, legal and law enforcement and other
include videotapes, biographies, photographs, and letters of recommendation from their commanders. Soldiers must have an outstanding record in their units as well as demonstrate musicality, movement, stage presence, and versatility. Soldier Show artistic staff, Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command directors, Soldier peers, and selected senior Army leaders form an audition panel that screens all entries. In addition to being scored by a panel of judges on showmanship, talent, and

The answer goes back to 1810 during the dark days of beer drinking before the modern miracle of refridgeration.
In those days in Germany, beer would never be brewed in the summer months. The batches would never turn out good.
The last batches were usually made in March. These last batches would have higher alcohol content to take advantage of alcohol as a preservative.
Traditionally, there would be a big fest starting on the last Saturday in September until the First Sunday in October. The purpose was to drink up the old stocks of beer to make room for the new brew that would be made after harvest. The tradition goes back to the 15th and 16th Centuries.
in 1810. Crown Prince Ludwig threw a big party to celebrate his wedding to Princess Therese on October 12, 1810. The party was open to all. Everyone liked it so much they kept having the party every year.
