Vernon Military Tattoo July 26
Thousands of people took in the second annual Vernon Military Tattoo over the weekend.
The Lord Strathcona's Horse musical ride opened the three days of military pageantry at the IPE Fairgrounds in Armstrong Friday.
Saturday and Sunday, the Tattoo moved to Kal Tire Place where spectators of all ages took in the two shows that lasted almost three hours each.
A military tattoo is a musical extravaganza of pipers, drummers, musicians, military bands, marching troops, multicultural dancers and singers of all ages brought together in a choreographed event, featuring more than 400 performers from all over North America paying tribute to the military past and present.
Derek Hall, who helped organize the event, said it is a way to honour the history of the Canadian Armed Forces.
According to okanagantattoo.ca, tattoos got their name when the British Army was fighting in Belgium 300 years ago. Soldiers were called in from the pubs each night for curfew, or Doe den tap toe, Dutch for ‘turn off the tap’.
The expression evolved to tap-too and then tattoo.
