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.”
