This weekend on Saturday, July 28
It’s a music lover’s dream - the marriage of finely tuned pipes, big brass and booming bass drums, unified for a grand performance on the parade square of Ontario’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is a one of a kind show that celebrates military traditions dating back
to the 1600’s. "Tattoo" is a derivation of “doe den tap toe”, which is
Dutch for "turn off the taps", a call which is said to have followed the
drum beats in many a pub, letting English soldiers know it was time to
turn in for the night.
Fort Henry is proud to welcome this year, Ottawa’s Ceremonial
Guard Band, Lorne Scots Pipes and Drums, Argyll and Sutherland
Highlanders of Canada, 8 Wing RCAF Pipe Band, Cadets of HMCS Ontario,
Toronto Signals Band, National Band of the Naval Reserve, and the Band
of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry to join the Fort Henry Guard Drums as guest performers.
Don’t miss the massed pipes and drums performance featuring over 75
highland performers, and marvel at the spectacular finale as 250
musicians take to the square to perform underneath an electrifying,
exploding sky of fireworks!
