Siden 1961 har 3. Gardekompani/Drillkontingenten/Musikk- og drillkontingenten deltatt på Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (tidligere Edinburgh Festival Tattoo) med jevne mellomrom. I år er det altså tiende gang vi deltar. I skrivende stund er transport, etablering og trening til tattoo gjennomført. Fredag 5.august er første gang vi opptrer for betalende publikum her i Edinburgh. I forbindelse med lanseringen av årets tattoo har tattooselskapet hatt en medielansering. Herunder følger noen av bildene fra denne uhyre artige seansen.

Vi ser frem til over tre uker med forestillinger der vi skal få muligheten til å begeistre 8800 mennesker hver eneste kveld (dobbelt så mange på lørdager). Den første uken her i Edinburgh har vi satt mange rutiner, men som Gardetambur sa det så riktig i kveld: «drillen skal aldri bli rutine». Vi skal bli bedre og bedre hver dag, fordi det er meg det kommer an på!
