STADACONA BAND OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY – CANADIAN ARMED FORCES

The Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy has been the long-time host band for the Royal Nova Scotia International tattoo, performing since the very first show. Formed in 1940, the band has performed for royalty, for heads of state, for military officials and more. Its musicians perform all over Atlantic Canada courtesy of the Commander, Maritime Forces Atlantic and as proud, musical ambassadors of the Royal Canadian Navy. The band’s musicians bring a unique blend of tradition and excellence to every stage they grace. Watch for them performing in their navy whites!

“Took our 3 grandchildren from age 8-24 and we all loved the show! Very patriotic event to remind us all of our military and their role in keeping Canada safe. An excellent event for Canada Day! Thank you!”
