THE STADACONA BAND OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY — CANADA

The Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a professional military band with a proud tradition of musical excellence spanning 85 years. Representing Canada’s East Coast Navy, the ‘Stad Band’ provides musical support to the Canadian Armed Forces, and to all levels of government through a variety of public engagements across the Atlantic provinces, Canada, and the world. They are best known for their annual participation in the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo.

“Have not been to the Tattoo for many years. Much has changed but all very positive! It was like watching synchronized swimming, so perfectly choreographed. Loved the musicians, drumming displays were mesmerizing. A beautiful show and so much to be proud of.”
