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 signaled 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 de-part and return to their barracks. Tattoo Estes will also be offered on Sept 6 & 7, also at 7:30pm.
