On September 27, a new spectacular show featuring hundreds of local, national, and international performers, will be produced and held at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs. The show will draw thousands of spectators along with military, civilian, and first responder performers to the city.
A “Tattoo” in this case has little to do with body art. A Military Tattoo is a patriotic, entertaining, and inspiring show that is based on a centuries old military tradition. The term comes from the Dutch phrase “Doe Den Tap Toe” and literally translates to “Shut off the Taps”. It was used as a signal by a military commander that it was the end of the night. Today Tattoos have grown to be large spectacles that are only held in a few communities across the globe.
Chloë Agnew will join hundreds of other performers in the 2014 Colorado International Tattoo . The Irish singer gained fame for her integral part as the youngest and one of the original members of the internationally acclaimed music group ‘Celtic Woman’ since she was just 14.
Other performers announced so far include:
U.S. Army 4th Infantry Division Band *A U.S. Air Force Academy Band, U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard Drill Team, Colorado Springs Chorale, Fountain Creek Brass Band, Pikes Peak Highlanders Pipe Band ,
Queen City Pipes & Drums, Denver & District Pipe Band, Gathering of the Spirits Drum Group,
Celtic Steps World Champion Irish Dancers, and more yet to be announced.
