Virginia International Tattoo Performance Trips

A litte history on the Virginia International Tattoo

The Virginia International Tattoo has become a hallmark event in the United States, modeled after the world-renowned Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland. Each year, it brings together performers from multiple nations to create a breathtaking display of music, movement, and tradition. For student performers, taking part in this long-standing tradition provides an unparalleled opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the world’s finest musicians while participating in a meaningful cultural exchange that goes beyond the stage.

Educationally, the experience is transformative.

Students who embark on a Virginia International Tattoo performance trip gain exposure to international artistry, discipline, and teamwork at the highest level. Beyond the performance itself, groups can explore Norfolk’s vibrant waterfront, historical landmarks, and nearby attractions, rounding out the trip with both cultural enrichment and lasting memories. This unique combination of world-class performance and immersive learning makes the Virginia International Tattoo one of the most rewarding destinations for student ensembles.

Nestled along the banks of the Chesapeake Bay is the city of Norfolk.

From the booming arts scene, the Virginia Symphony, Virginia Opera and the Virginia Stage Company, you are always within reach of the performing arts. Take in the sights and sounds during the annual Virginia Arts Festival or take a relaxing stroll at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Take it all in as you visit Norfolk with your group.
