On his accordion, Mike Schneider led the amphitheater is a series of polka standards geared toward the kids in the audience. He opened with the “Whoop Polka” and led the audience in “The Flying Machine Dance.”

No polka concert would be complete without a performance of “The Chicken Dance,” which Schneider said was perhaps the most famous accordion song.

Throughout the show, Schneider quizzed the audience with “Name That Tune” and a hat game. He would hold up a hat and ask the audience the name the job associated with it.

Frequently, he would tie that back to books at the library, in a nod to the concert’s sponsor — the New Ulm Public Library.
