Lukas Otto, Theresa Wolff, Aylin Kaya, Dr. med. Claudia Reiter, Emil Roth, and Petra Lang set off with bright anticipation to the carnival parade in their small town. They lined the colorful route where drums beat and balloons reflected the sun. Lukas wore a home-made knight costume, Theresa a glittery ribbon, Aylin a bright carnival mask, and Dr. med. Claudia Reiter proudly waved her stethoscope as part of a silly outfit. Emil Roth played a trumpet, Petra Lang juggled candy, and together they made the onlookers laugh. As confetti sparkled in the air, they danced with the parade participants and clapped along to the music. After the final bang they trudged home on a sugar-candy high, promising to come back together next year for another carnival.

In the pub 'Zum Kupferhut' Verena Schuster, Felix Schröder, Clara Weber, Nicole Schäfer, Karl the Great, and Alexander von Humboldt gathered in colorful carnival costumes. The glasses clinked, the band played cheerful ballads, and the host announced a karaoke contest. Verena Schuster wore a cheeky jester nose, Felix Schröder swaggered as a pirate with an eyepatch, Clara Weber shone as Cleopatra, Nicole Schäfer darted through the crowd as a sly cat, Karl the Great presided majestically atop a bar-stool throne, and Alexander von Humboldt noted every detail in a quirky travel diary. When the first chorus rang out, the group joined in, and Verena surprised the crowd with a playful yodel-rap. Karl the Great raised his glass, declared the night's rules, and praised the costumes while Humboldt chronicled the props with wide-eyed wonder. As the night dissolved into laughter, everyone danced in the warm light, and the pub night became an unforgettable story.

The Fasching ball in the Stadthalle begins with a roar of orchestral sounds as Fabian Jäger strides into the hall as a glittering phoenix. Mareike Brandt twirls through the crowd in a shimmering costume, grinning as the drums kick in. Julian Albers, dressed as a knight, takes the children's hands and leads them playfully to an improvised mask contest. Michael Werner, in an elegant tuxedo with glitter, conducts the polonaise while Friedrich Schiller recites poetic mask verses on the stage. Michelangelo Buonarroti sits at an improvised easel made of cardboard and sketches with charcoal flowing lines as the lights dance across the floor. By the end of the evening the masks come off, laughter echoes through the hall, and everyone realizes that imagination has kissed reality in the most beautiful way tonight.
