April 24: Virginia International Tattoo
Historically, tattoos stem from a 17th-century European tradition of military drummers alerting soldiers that it was time to return to their barracks for the evening. After hearing the call of the local regiments’ fifes and drums, the Dutch Low Country innkeepers would call “Doe den tap toe!” – “Turn off the taps!” The “tap too” evolved over time, and the word “tattoo” now refers to a ceremonial performance of military music by massed bands.
The Virginia International Tattoo will occur on the following dates:
Thursday, April 24, 7:30 PM
Friday, April 25, 7:30 PM
Saturday, April 26, 7:30 PM
Sunday, April 27, 2:30 PM
at Norfolk Scope Arena
