| April 27, 2008 .:. VPB Announces Retirement |

Anton and Alfred Vrazel would like to announce that Vrazels' Polka Band will retire at the end of 2008. After 55 years, thousands of performances, and who knows how many miles traveled, Anton (80) and Alfred (67) have decided to end their tenure in the polka music industry to spend more time with their families and enjoy some leisure time. While the band will retire, Alfred will continue to host his Sunday afternoon radio Polka Show.

"Over the years we have met many wonderful people who have touched our hearts and we sincerely hope that in some small way we may have touched their hearts as well.

"We would like to take this time to thank first and foremost our families for their support, patience, and understanding. We would also like to thank our current band members, Thomas Strmiska, Albert Heselmeyer, David Trojacek, and Patrick Strmiska for their talent, dedication, loyalty, and commitment. We would also like to thank all of the former musicians who have contributed to the Vrazels' sound.

"Lastly, to our dedicated fans who have supported us throughout the years—we could not have done it without you. You've given us wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

The band members would be honored to see you at their remaining performances this year.
