The original meaning of Military TATTOO was a military drum performance, but subsequently over the years it has become army displays, this term dates from around 1600 during the Thirty Years' War in the Belgium and the Netherlands. A Military TATTOO is a display of military marching bands, skills, drills and tactics. The TATTOO will display the musical and artistic forms of our forefathers and ble
nd them into the calalloo that is Trinidad and Tobago. The show will re-enact some of Trinidad and Tobago’s military history and celebrate our distinguished military icons. Conquerabia - Spear and Drum as it is billed, is a musical journey that chronicles the move from conflict to peace, from many peoples to one people. It is a journey through our past that looks towards our future as we continue to strive for excellence. The TATTOO will recognise the contributions of the many persons that have made this nation their home while celebrating those things that make us uniquely Trinbagonian. Conquerabia - Spear and Drum, will feature road shows across the country, a children's show, a TATTOO village in Woodford Square in addition to the main TATTOO show at the National Stadium. The TATTOO show will begin in Tobago on August 18 and 19, move to Arima and San Fernando on August 21 with the children's show on August 25 and the main event from August 23 to 26 at the Hasley Crawford Stadium.
