AlphornsSF at Oakland Ballers
We brought our 12-foot Swiss alphorns to the Oakland Ballers game last night, August 5, 2026, to play some baseball classics.
Stephen, Jonathon, Monika, Jill, Peter, and Mary lined up on the field right before the first pitch to perform the national anthem, and it was awesome hearing the deep acoustic tones echo across the stadium.
We came back out for the 7th-inning stretch and used our giant wooden horns to lead the crowd in “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Big thanks to the Ballers and all the fans for having us out and singing along!
