I actually took part in the Berlin Military Tattoo at the Deutschlandhalle in 1981.
Not as prestigious as the Edinburgh Tattoo but still an amazing thing to be a part of.

If I remember correctly, it ran for 6 nights and after each performance I sat with the rest of the crowd and watched the rest of the show every night.
The guest band were the Royal Green Jackets and they had a lone bugler right at the back of the hall starting the band with a solo rendition of ‘High on a hill’, absolutely fantastic.

Another perk was that round the corner from the venue was a small fairground, which was part of the Oktoberfest.
The usual shooting and darts stalls were there but when you won at these the prize was a bottle of Sekt (cheap bubbly).
So after the show we would go there and get completely rat-arsed.
