MARCHING TO VICTORIA

Fans of marching bands will want to know that the second annual Pacific Tattoo is coming to Victoria in July. Bands from Australia, the Netherlands and across Canada, as well as members of the RCMP from throughout BC, will perform at the Tattoo, which will run July 13 and 14 at Victoria’s Memorial Arena. With over 400 performers (and a finale of more than 200 massed pipes and drums), the Tattoo is reminiscent of the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in its infancy. The two-hour finale production will include a celebration of police and fire fighting services. Drum your way over to http://www.pacifictattoo.ca for additional details.
