Great show folks! It is too bad about the intoxicated drummer. It is clear that poor choices and poor leadership were caught on tape.
-
Does anyone know if that drummer who fell is ok? It looked like it hurt bad. He didn't move! I was at baxters after the show and heard he was Canadian Army and drunk.....I guess drinking and drumming is right up there with drinking and driving!

GREAT SHOW

Beautiful and powerful rendition of Elsa's Procession! Wish I could have been there in person to hear that! It raised goosebumps just listening to this video. Gotta make an effort to get down there next year!

0:14 notice that there are two US flags. The one on the left represents the Civil flag for times of peace. The in the middle is the battle flag. We ALWAYS fly the battle flag in the US. Coincidence?
-
No doubt that leadership comes from the top, but everyone has to do their part to be and act professional. It is that easy.

I have had the opportunity to work with this drummer on a number of occasions. He is probably one of the most talented Pipeband drummers I have ever known, but he has a problem. We all know that. It is really unfortunate, hopefully it won't go to hard on him. But hey CF, maybe it's time you STOPPED lecturing your civillian volunteers about drinking and concentrated on the on strength personell!

This individual has destroyed his career and tarnished the music branch of the CF for years. On one had I hope this person can get the help he needs and on the other hand I do not understand why the CF tolerated him for the last 15 years.

this was amazing. i saw it this year for the first time. i live in ohio and my high school band traveled to virginia for the azalea festival and contest. my dad was in the army so i have a connection. i almost cried at the end. (i never cry)
THERE WAS A DRUNK DRUMMER!?!? I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE. WAIT IS IT THE ONE THAT DROPPED HIS STICK??
-
The bandsman in question has destroyed his career. Ottawa is not amused, and every CF band in the country has been put on notice about this incident.
-
The counter march that is.
Okay, guys... I think y'all are letting the debate over the guy who fell overshadow an amazing overall performance. I had a great time watching, as I do every year, and just want to thank all of the participants.

Wow, this is great to see the show up on here already! I was just down in Norfolk to see it again this weekend. Your video captures the spirt and power of this great Tattoo. The sound and picture quality is really good. Its great that you post this because there is no DVD or CD produced because US bands are not allowed to do stuff like that commercially. Another one of our inconsistent laws that we have. So you really are providing a means to see view this again. Thanks so much.
