TAPS ACROSS AMERICA

An opportunity for all of us to honor Memorial Day in a socially-distanced way.  Please consider participating in this National experience.

At 3:00pm on Memorial Day (Monday 5/31), trumpet players and instrumentalists of all types are invited to step outside their homes and perform Taps for their neighborhood. More details and a link to the music can be found below.

If you participate, Ms. Kluga would love to see a photo of you or hear your video. She plans to play Taps from her driveway. Her sister, who is a trumpet player in the Air Force, will be playing Taps from where she is stationed in Germany.

FYI: Trumpet players – if the music on the above website is too high for you, Taps can be played using any valve combination for all notes (like a lip slur). Try starting on low D (1+3) and using that fingering for all the notes.
