5.0 out of 5 stars Farewell To The Gordons, October 3, 2008

This review is from: Edinburgh Military Tattoo 1994: From The Castle Esplanade (VHS Tape)

This Tattoo saw the last display by the drums & pipes and honor guard of the 1st battalion, the Gordon Highlanders. 1994 was a watershed year in that many fine old British regiments and bands were downsized and lost forever. The Gordons had an impressive 200 year history. How sad that it should end on their anniversary. This year's tattoo contains all the usual elements of ther massed pipes & drums, and military bands. The massed bands of the RAF were an added feature. The two newly formed bands of the Dragoon guards and Highland band saw their debut this eyar as well. Over all a fine show, but a very sad Tattoo. Some of the arrangements by Berry Hingly of the RAF bands bring a tear to your eyes. This is a sad, but memorable Tattoo.
