I am one of those people who has always wanted to go the Edinburgh Tattoo but haven't made it yet. If you are too, you could consider a couple of alternatives closer to home.
The Virginia International Tattoo draws thousands of spectators each year to Norfolk. It is the largest tattoo in the US. This year it is scheduled to be held on April 18-20. With 850 performers, it will be a tribute to Veterans. It will include an exhibition of marching bands, massed pipes and drum teams, gymnasts, Scottish dancers, choirs and more.
Another alternative is the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Halifax July 1-8, 2008. It is one of the world's premiere cultural and entertainment spectaculars featuring pipes and drums, massed bands, historic reenactments, dancers, acrobats, comedians, choirs, military displays and competitions.
As you can tell, if you have never seen a Tattoo, you have missed quite an experience. If you cannot get to Scotland, you might try one of these.
