The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Central Band have returned to Norfolk, Virginia, United States to perform at the Virginia International Tattoo from 20 to 23 Apr. This is their second time at this military tattoo – their first was in 2017.

Leading them into the arena is their drum major, Military Expert (ME) 2 Jash Chua.

ME2 Chua is no stranger to the international field. The show will mark his 12th international tattoo and his second as the drum major – his first drum majoring stint was in Japan in 2018.
