Drone Show
The "dazzling, choreographed" drone show by North Star Entertainment, will light up the night sky just before the fireworks display. The performance will feature 100 drones — each of which is capable of displaying "millions of colours," –performing in tightly choreographed formations creating complex geometric shape and images that will dance against the night sky's black backdrop. The show will be conducted under a special flight operations certificate issued by Transport Canada, to ensure safety and compliance.
Neil MacDonell, Tattoo Director excitedly says "What a great way to cap-off a stellar musical line-up. The show starts with the lights of the drones rising up into the night sky then like a painter, they magically move weaving images into the darkness, all of this culminates with a spectacular fireworks display ... let's just say after this 15 minute show, our audience will know they were at a celebration!”
The Friday Night Tattoo on August 2nd will be a brilliant display of music, sound and pageantry with the Barra MacNeils as headliners, Massed Pipes & Drums, Games favourites the MacCulloch Dancers, along with Glengarry’s Hadrian’s Wall, special guests from Scotland Gleadhraich and a salute to the 100th Anniversary of the RCAF with the RCAF Pipes and Drums and capped off with a spectacular fireworks display. Of course, since it’s the Games 75th edition, there has to be even more and there is, with the first-ever drone show at the Games.
