Greetings from Basel Tattoo Producer Eric Julliard
Dear Pipe Major
Pipefest Basel takes place on 18 July 2009 and it promises to be a spectacular event. The festival starts with a Parade through the streets of the Basel inner city and the bands from the Pipefest will join the bands from the Basel Tattoo, an event that takes place each summer. Last year the Tattoo Parade was cheered by 100 000 spectators and in 2009, with the attraction of a combined Tattoo and Pipefest Parade, this number is expected to increase to 150 000.
The Parade will be followed by a Tribute to the Chieftain with Massed Pipes and Drums and Harmony Bands, after which you have the opportunity to watch the Basel Tattoo – a show that has been based on the legendary Edinburgh Military Tattoo and which has become the world’s second largest open air Tattoo after just 3 years. The show starts at 17:00 and as a participant in the Pipefest, you and your family are entitled to discounted tickets. Visit www.baseltattoo.ch for more information. A flyer for the event is attached to this e-mail.
From 20:00 the Pipefest post-parade party will run until the early hours of the morning.
As the producer of the Basel Tattoo, I would like to encourage you to participate in Pipefest Basel 2009. It would be an honour to host you in our beautiful city and I am confident that you will have a fantastic and memorable experience.
Should you wish to register, please do so at www.pipefest.com or if you would like more information, please go to www.pipefest.ch
I look forward to welcoming you to Basel.
Kind regards
Erik Julliard
Producer

Les 'Pipes and Drums of Basel' organisent la fête de la cornemuse, fête devenue aujourd’hui traditionnelle, qui se déroulera le 18 Juillet 2009, dans le lieu de leur origine, à Bale. |
En 2009, plus de 100'000 visiteurs sont attendus à Bale.
Je me réjouis tout particulièrement de pouvoir participer à cet événement, en tant que représentante du comité des patronats d'Allemagne.
De part notre situation géographique nous sommes souvent concernés par des questions transfrontalières. C'est la raison pour laquelle tisser des liens au-delà des frontières me tiens à cœur.
Que la fête de la cornemuse et du tambour puisse-t-elle rester un bon souvenir pour l’ensemble des participants !" o:p> Gudrun Heute-Bluhm
