WAR OF 1812 &
the Canadian International Military Tattoo & Festival
“EMBRACING YOUR AUDIENCE” …. FESTIVAL/EVENT VISITORS …
One major aspect of the Canadian International Military Tattoo & Festival’s goal is to
try to get the audience emotions going. John
Terence, Producer, “tries to present
the show in such a way that people’s emotions become sad and reflective, and
then build up again to excitement”. The Canadian
International Military Tattoo & Festival is renowned for their
spectacular finals ending with a huge impact, leaving the audience thunderous
applaud, tears, cheers and heart filled emotions. He “takes great consideration into how the audience responds”. Although
John Terence is the Producer and looks after many details, he also works with
Mr. John Dinsmore, Lieutenant-Colonel
(Ret’d) John Dinsmore, CD, Member
of the Board of Directors is the Tattoo’s announcer and
script-writer. A little history about Mr. Dinsmore …“Born in Londonderry, Northern
Ireland, he began his military life as an
RAF Cadet. After moving to Hamilton, he joined
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, served in the regiment for
30 years and is a former Commanding Officer. He narrated the Argylls’ act at
the 1986 Edinburgh
Military Tattoo and his interest in tattoo production has continued since that
time. He is a founding member of the Canadian International Tattoo Association
and has served as Chairman. Col Dinsmore has
been the announcer for the Hamilton
Tattoo since its origin in 1992.”
