Mar 6, 2018 | 8:38 AM

The fifth annual Okanagan Military Tattoo on July 28 and 29 at Kal Tire Place in Vernon will have a decidedly international flavour this year with the addition of the 133rd Army National Guard Band from Camp Murray, Washington.

The 133rd Army Band is a diverse group of musicians and ensembles.

Members of the Band range in age from their late teens to mid fifties and represent a wide cross section of the community.

With music educators and professional musicians, students and other career professionals, the 133d Army Band is diverse in its professional composition.

Norm Crerar, President of the Okanagan Military Tattoo Society is delighted to have a band of this calibre perform at the 2018 Tattoo.
