The Navy Band is preparing for the world's larget tattoo performance, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo!
Ingram: The US naval forces Europe band just held their final dress rehearsal in Naples Italy before embarking on a month-long trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. The band will be in Edinburgh participating in a tattoo ceremony which is a marching band expedition for military bands from around the world come together to perform with one another. Leading Petty Officer for the band, Petty Officer first class Anthony Smouse has the details:
"We'll perform every night with contingents from Japan, Chile, India, Monaco, the United Kingdom and will be performing a joint concert, kind of, each one of us has a six-minute portion of the show and at the end we come together and we all perform the last 10 minutes or so together."
Ingram: Petty Officer Second Class Kristen Gale shares the importance of this event:
"There's not a better example in the world of how different cultures can come together and work together collaborate and get along and I think it sends a powerful message that it doesn't take a lot of effort to collaborate."
Ingram: Edinburgh month-long tattoo is the largest tattoo ceremony in the world and this year marks the first time the Navy band will be participating since 2012.
