The team are home and the journey back was definitely quieter than when we went. But that was a sure sign of a wonderful trip and a fantastic musical after party thrown by the Musikfest der Bundeswehr Tattoo team.
👏We have a few Thankyou’s 👏
* Firstly to Thomas Ernst, Producer for his invitation to the 2026 edition and for his belief in us to captivate the audience in not one but two sets. His warm reception to Paula and the team was instant and the friendship offered by the entire production team and Military Forces was incredible - such a great event to work with. 🤩
* The Tattoo Big Band - WOW! They are exceptional! 🎶 When the discussions took place in the planning stage they wanted to play all our music live, including our own The Force Anthem - they blew us away, it was such a special moment to hear our lyrics, which represents the team on the World stage! 🌍
* Sebine - our Liaison Officer! 👮 we couldn’t have asked for better. She got to know us instantly and filled our dressing room fridge constantly, brought the coffee daily and a few treats along the way! We never had to ask for anything - she was super informative and just what you need when there is a busy schedule. Like ourselves, she too was the last to leave the after party 🥳 we appreciated her so much! 🥰
* Harris Kilt Company - this international trip was extra special because you made it. Kim gives us that unique team vibe - you have always seen my vision and make it a reality - your team at the Harris Kilt Shop go over and beyond and we are so thankful for your sponsorship and value your time and effort in the lead up to this event…. You can see clearly from the photos how the full team in the Spirit of Scotland tartan stood out - The Force was truly represented and turned out in the arena with the amazing lights! That’s down to you - thanks always for the friendship and love to our team! 💙👏👏😇💜
* A1 Embroidery & Printing - as always you deliver high quality merchandise for us. No matter the ask you are always so accommodating and we love the kit that you provide for us! The additional last minute needs are always met with friendship and we appreciate you both very much! Thanks for being with us from the start. 😊
* Lastly, The Force Elite team, team guests and chaperones - take a bow 🙇♀️ This success is yours. Every single rehearsal, every practice, you held yourself accountable to ensure our synchronicity, precision and collaboration which proves your place on this team. The effort shown by all, especially from one individual, who learnt all routines from videos and on arrival showed the reason why he is an Elite! The collective team effort by each individual is fantastic - the commitment and camaraderie - the laughs and fun is why our performances on the arena floor feels a genuine team effort! The Force is special! Thank you! 💕✨🤩
* To all our supporters - it’s felt, your presence on all we do is noticeable to our team when we arrive to venues and other artists who know of us and want to engage! Our socials team have worked hard to keep you with us this weekend, and there is still plenty to come, so thanks for all the likes, shares, feedback and messages! We truly are in such a lucky position to feel all your support, friendship and love! 😊🙏🏻
Enjoy the next few posts - as they certainly will showcase our trip to Germany in full! 🇩🇪
