We attended the final performance of The Royal Edinburgh military tattoo and came away somewhat disappointed.
The show lacked real Military content along with sufficient pipes & drums.
Why did they display the Aboriginal colours next to the flags of Nations who made significant contributions.
It was The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Australia not a continual smoking ceremony and welcome to the point we were bored and embrassed to our International guests. They like us believe in one people one nation.
Many of the acts were entertaining but not of a military tattoo standard. In fact outside of the bands until we had the pleasure of the Swiss Secret Drum Corp the show was similar to what one may find on Reality TV Shows not a $200 a seat event of the statue of The Tattoo.
The shows only other act to live up to the normal quality of performance was the NZ Lochiel Marching Drill Team.
Again I repeat acts not the bands.
Why was John Paul Young part of the show,was it because he was born in Scotland, his act was propped up by dancers who again belonged on a concert stage not a Tattoo parade ground.
What have I to back this up you might ask, well I am a regular attendee at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo including last year in Edinburgh.
The lack of quality was perhaps the reason that ticket sales were well and truly underway before the composition of this Tattoo was announced and even offers like two for one tickets failed to fill the stadium often like the final performance hundreds of seats remained vacant whereas in Edinburgh its always a sell out event before night one.
Good try but not up to the standards of previous visits.
