So why is it called a Tattoo?
The term "tattoo" derives from the cries of the 17th and 18th century Dutch innkeepers, who, as the fifes and drums of the local regiment signalled a return to quarters would cry,
"Doe den tap toe!" - "Turn off the taps!"
The sound of the "taps" caused the innkeeper's customers to depart and return to their barracks. The word "tattoo" evolved over time, and now refers to the large scale ceremonial performances of military music by massed bands that we know today. Under the direction of an international team drawn from the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Europe, the 2024 Estes Park International Tattoo brings to Colorado an international array of talent from Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America - & more!
Join us together with over 200 performers from across the globe in a celebration of marching bands, highland dancing and massed bagpipes - a spectacular evening of music & pageantry not to be missed
