The tattoo is over, the trumpets polished, the drums put away. Here is a short reaction from the Euroband:

On behalf of all the members of Euroband Rotterdam we would like to thank you for the tremendous time we had in your beautiful country Canada. It was an amazing experience for us to participate in the 2008 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, Halifax.

We also would like to thank the Netherlands Embassy in Canada for the attention you gave to the Tattoo and especially to Euroband on your website. This way the Dutch people in Canada knew we were coming.

Hopefully we’ll be back someday.

Regards on behalf of Euroband,

Korien Olsthoorn, Travel Agency Euroband
