Welcome to the Heartland International Tattoo
Music & Dance Festival

Saturday and Sunday April 18 and 19, 2009 are the tentative dates for the next Heartland International Tattoo, the only musical Tattoo of it kind in the Midwest. This traditional Tattoo is an event that honors all U.S. and Canadian military music units as well as international entertainers. The show will dazzle spectators with more than 250 musicians, singers and entertainers that includes both military and civilian brass bands, drum corps, wind bands, bagpipe bands, drill teams, flag corps and an array of dancers. This indoor arena show is hosted at the beautiful NIU Convocation Center.

The Tattoo performances, based on an ancient military tradition are each 2-1/2 hours long featuring a vast array of international military and civilian acts. (Never been to a Tattoo? Then the What is a Tattoo? page is for you.)
