A major theatrical production that was seen by almost three million Canadians. Broadcast twice by the Canadian Broadcasting Company on two occasions. The show took four years to research and develop. There were calls to tour the show through the United States and Europe as a symbol of Canadian culture. The Canadian Armed Forces Tattoo 1967 was the premiere event in Canada's centennial year. Hailed by many in the press to keep the production and make it an annual event. While all the performers in the Tattoo were members of the military, they took to acting in their many scenes as if they were born to it. This book captures many of the details that went into the research, development and production stages of the show that thrilled Canadians from coast to coast.
