There will be nine bands performing - marching bands of both traditional and drum corps style, static brass bands and pipes and drums from Kent, London, Cambridgeshire, Essex and as far away as Dublin. Gym displays, squad drill demonstrations, junior team games and figure marching, children’s entertainment and face painting all add to the activities to watch or take part in.
There’ll be special facilities for ‘Old Boys’ to meet and reminisce of their time in The Boys’ Brigade and static information stands will be available promoting the activities of local companies of The Boys’ Brigade, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and the Kent Fire & Rescue Service.
The day culminates with a Tattoo and Beat Retreat with what could be over 500 musicians performing the traditional end of day ceremony.
Add to this all the galleries and attractions of The Historic Dockyard Chatham (open from 10am) and it will be a great day out for families and groups, especially youth groups
