STIRRING: The Tasmanian Massed Pipe Band.
THE historic site of Port Arthur was a sea of tartan as the sound of bagpipes rang through the crisp autumn air at the inaugural Port Arthur Tattoo.
Conditions were ideal and the site proved the perfect backdrop for the military traditions of the event.
"The site forms a natural amphitheatre it just works really well for this sort of event, especially when teamed with such fantastic weather," said Port Arthur Historic Site marketing manager Andrew Ross.
The program featured performances by the Tasmania Police Pipe Band, the Clarence Concert Band, City of Hobart Highland Pipe Band, St Andrews Caledonian Pipe Band, Derwent Scottish Pipe Band, Hobart Australian Navy Cadet Band, Army Band Tasmania, the Hobart Irish dancers and the Hobart Highland dancers.
The event was presented yesterday afternoon as a show of support to the local community following the January bushfires.
Mr Ross said nearly 2500 people converged on Port Arthur from around the state and their high expectations were exceeded.
"The sun shone, the bands were fabulous it was a spectacular event and feedback has been that everyone is hoping we might be able to do it again."
