Beat the Retreat

[Betsybill]

Does anyone know the schedule for the Bermuda Regement's "Beat the Retreat"? We are on the Dawn and will be in port on June 16 and 17. We saw them a few years ago and really enjoyed them. Thanks.

Thanks Keith, I'll e mail to see if they're preforming the days that we are there. We enjoyed them at St. Georges a few years ago.

You are very welcome.

 

I hope it works out.

Betsybill,

 

Sadly you're likely to miss them - they are performing a week before you arrive.

 

The Ceremony takes place throughout the island in the summer months, but are in the Royal Naval Dockyard on 20th May 2013, 10th June 2013 and again on 16th September 2013. The Band and Corps of Drum of the Bermuda Regiment and the Bermuda Islands Pipe Band begin the display at 8:30 pm sharply before the general public and an invited Guest of Honour.
