Due to projected inclement weather, tonight’s “Twilight Tattoo” performance will move indoors to Conmy Hall on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Va. Because of the anticipated large audience and the limited seating in Conmy Hall, we are performing two shows tonight (at 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.). We respectfully ask groups that have the flexibility in their schedule to please attend the early 4:30 p.m., show so that we can accommodate all of our guests and special groups.
Please note that Conmy Hall does have limited seating and once capacity is reached we unfortunately will not be able to accommodate any more groups. Members of our staff will be contacting tour groups to work rescheduling and to confirm which performance your group will attend. Thank you for your cooperation and we’ll see you tonight for a great show!

Twilight Tattoo performances run each Wednesday night through Aug. 3, Twilight Tattoo is an hour-long, live-action military performance that blends the precision and discipline of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) with the orchestral sounds and pop music from The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own”.

“The U.S. Army’s “Twilight Tattoo” is a one hour show designed to strengthen the patriotic spirit of the American people as they experience a fast paced journey through 241 years of history as seen through the eyes of a Soldier. Our goal is to provide the audience with deeper understanding and appreciation of how the U.S. Army has shaped our Nation’s history, and the strength, versatility and professionalism of our Soldiers.”
