On April 10, 2010, David Morris, the World’s Champion Whistler will be making his fourth appearance in the Chicago area, when he performs with the Prairie Brass Band at the Heartland International Tattoo.

To be held at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, the Heartland Tattoo will feature bag pipe bands from the US and Canada, Irish dancers, Highland dancers, the Classic Cavalier Drum and Bugle Corps, an Irish choir, drill teams, Bollywood dancers, a Latin dance troupe, the Tabala Thunder Birds, a US Marine Band, the MVS Show Band from Holland, the Prairie Brass Band and David Morris.

Always a huge favorite with Chicago area audiences, David will be returning to the area on October 9, when he will again be the featured soloist with the Prairie Brass Band in a concert in Arlington Heights, IL at the Forest View Educational Center.
