Behind the scenes of the Air Force 60th Tattoo

BOLLING AFB, D.C. -- Chief Master Sgt. Edward J. Teleky, Air Force Band drum major, leads the band's ceremonial brass during their performance at the 60th Anniversary Air Force Tattoo dress rehearsal Sept. 22. The military tattoo, which is held annually at Bolling, highlights troop excellence and readiness. The tattoo dates back to the mid-17th century British Army deployment to the Netherlands in which drummers were sent from the garrison to the towns at 9:30 each night to let soldiers know it was time to return to the fort.
