The Quebec City Military Tattoo is an annual show which is part of the Quebec City International Festival of Military Bands (FIMMQ). Since 2005, the Quebec City Military Tattoo stages colorful and exotic performances, presenting a music show with choreographies and multi-media effects. This event gathers all countries that are participating at the Festival. Military musicians present a stunning gathering of drums and pipes and the musical mass performances which can count 1200 musicians. In 2008, for its tenth anniversary and for 400th of Quebec City, 25 formations will take part in the show.
[edit] Origin
The first show to be held in Quebec City was in 1967 for the 100th anniversary of the Canadian confederation. It had been organised by the Canadian Army.
