The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2013

98

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is the world's most respected and famous displays of military bands, music, tradition and ceremony. Each year since its inception in 1950, the Tattoo showcases the incredible discipline, choreography, organisation and talent of military bands and drill corps from around the world. Staged once again alongside the impressive backcloth of Edinburgh Castle, one thousand musicians and performers took the Esplanade of the Castle by storm for the 2013 Edinburgh Tattoo. This year's show, with the theme ?Natural Scotland?, featured performances from the Ceilidh Band and Highland Dancers, Mexico's Monumental Jaguares Marching Band and Mariachi Oro de Mexico, Republic of Korea Ministry of National Defence Traditional Band, New Zealand Army Band, Central Orchestra of the General Staff of the Mongolian Armed Forces and of course, the traditional tattoo performance from the Massed Pipes and Drums and the haunting sound of the Lone Piper. This official Tattoo DVD is available in Australia and New Zealand exclusively through ABC Music. Some 217,000 people attend the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo each year, a third of them coming from outside the UK; for 14 years, every performance has sold out, and never in the show's 53-year history has a show been cancelled. Another 100 million people in 30 countries watch the Tattoo on TV. It is without question one of the world's greatest spectaculars
