Navy Military Band's First Participation in Canada International Military Music Festival

Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of Korea-Canada Diplomatic Relations Starting from the 30th of This Month

The Navy Band is participating for the first time in the '2023 Canada Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo' held in Canada.

According to the Navy on the 22nd, this international military tattoo, held annually since 1997, will take place in Canada from June 30 to July 3. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Canada, the Nova Scotia International Tattoo Organizing Committee sent an official invitation.

This year, 15 teams from 7 countries including Korea, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and Switzerland will perform. Since the military tattoo is held in Canada, a participant in the Korean War, the Navy Band plans to express gratitude to Canadian veterans through their performance.

Before participating in the military tattoo, the Navy will hold a veterans' music concert on the 25th at the Defense Support Center in Halifax, Canada. The Navy Band, the Canadian Navy Reserve Band, and a Taekwondo demonstration team composed of Korean Canadians will perform in front of veterans and their families.

During the Korean War, Canada deployed 26,791 troops as part of the United Nations forces, ranking third after the United States and the United Kingdom, with 516 of them killed in action.
