Victorian Military Tattoo

23 Cadets and their 9 Instructors accepted the invitation to star in the first ever Victorian Military Tattoo held at Northe Fort, Weymouth on Saturday & Sunday 19th and 20th September 2009.

They were highly recommended to attend this musical extravaganza which even included the high honour of playing before ‘Queen Victoria’ and ‘Prince Albert’!  Our contingent represented the 30th Regiment of Foot – our direct ancestors from the Victorian era.

The group were involved in the four main parades held each day, and took an active part in the ‘sunset ceremony’ held on Saturday evening as well as entertaining the crowds with a magnificent static display during Sunday afternoon. The youngest cadets on parade were just 13 years old - and five of the cadets were playing at their first ever public performance.

The last 6 photos of our gallery were taken by L/Cpl Lasek who in between performances took photos to put towards her GCSE Photography Course.
