Amazing experience. Stoked my pride in being AMERICAN. Take our country back.
Awsome this was the very best show i've attended at scope.
Excellent! Very enjoyable. We could see each act from the front and being a little higher up was an excellent place to sit. This was the first time my friend had seen a tattoo and he was very impressed.
A wonderful evening's entertainment. Music, bands, troupes, all combined to make your heart beat faster, your smile get wider and your hands clap faster. Patriotic theme and military bands very moving and timely.
We rode the Tide into Downtown Norfolk from the Military Station. We got off across the street from Scope and went right in after enjoying the outside entertainment. Our seats were a bit high but we had a good vantage point from which to see the band formations. The dance and bicycle troops added a nice variety to the performance. Next time we go we may try for lower seats. Utilizing the light rail, the Tide, enabled us to enjoy the event without having the stress of traffic and parking in downtown Norfolk.
I usually don't like bands with a lot of brass, but these military bands changed my mind. Amazing talent in the Armed Forces. I did expect the International Tattoo to be more "international" (more nations), but the countries that were represented did a good job. It's a very patriotic show. Thought the Juliana Bicycle Team from the Netherlands was a bit out of place, but they were amazing performers, so all good.
It was very entertaining and I have wanted to see Tattoo for many years. Great music, choreography overall a wonderful way to spend a sunday afternoon. I did miss the Air force not being there since all other branches of the service were represented.
Brought out of town guests with me to my first time at Military Tattoo. We all throughly enjoyed it as former high school band members. Great talent and very patriotic.
It was a great show - very Patriotic! We saw a Tattoo in Nova Scotia years ago and that one had more military bands and maneuvers - they actually built a jeep in the arena and drove it away! I guess I would rather see more things like that, along with the military bands. I thought the bicycle troup from the Netherlands were fantastic!
An evening of patriotism seldom seen these days. It warmed the cockles of my old heart.
This is a spectacular and dramatic and touching and happy event. I absolutely love it. BUT .... the mikes were amped up WAY too loud this year. It was painful. You have to back that off a little bit. AND -- what about the Stars & Stripes??? You ALWAYS do that. It is one of the best things. Why didn't the band (mixed-band) play the Stars & Stripes???? I LOVE this event and I've come every year -- and I will come again next year if I can -- But please don't make those chorus people shriek at me, and please play the Stars & Stripes.
It was truly a spectacular event! So much talent and precision of movement. Everything we expected and more. Don't miss it next year. Worth every penny.
Wow, better than my wildest imagination. Excellent choreography of multiple bands and events.
Wow. Amazing performance, lots of great music. Can't wait to go next year!
Outstanding, this is our fourth year. Next year we will sit higher up so we can see over the people in front of us.
Next year we won't park in the garage because that led us to go straight inside and we missed all the cool stuff going on in the Plaza. But the show itself was amazing !
We came all the way from Massachusetts to see the Tattoo and we were NOT disappointed!
This was perhaps the most amazing entertainment I have seen in years. Very patriotic and colorful. Perfect place to hold it too. Will definitely attend next year.
Amazing show! First time going. Will go again next year!!
