I, too, am a member of Bugles Across America...I've played for several functions, including a few funerals, since I joined the organization.

I'm glad to see theres another bugler here.I too am a member of Bugles Across America.I'm still working on getting it right each and every time I play,so I haven't played at any functions yet.

I never knew such an organization existed.

I'm a trumpet player. Most recently I played on Sunday, October 30 at a Right to Life concert. The concert featured several original works from the music director at my previous church.

I, too, have played taps at a couple funerals, though I'm not affiliated with any group or organization.

I may have to look into this further and see if I can volunteer my services. I know Ft. Snelling National Cemetary currently has volunteer buglers, but I've also heard they are advancing in age.

I'm also ex-military. I was in the Army Reserves for 10 years before I resigned my commission. My unit was mobilized in 1990 for the first Gulf War. Our assignment was stateside, but important to soldier's morale. (We processed all mail for overseas shipment).

Unrelated, my son is starting to learn the trumpet this year. He has the desire to sound bugle calls in the future when he attends Boy Scout camps. Once he becomes proficient, I may have to add him to the list of bulgers as well.

By all means,check out Bugles Across America and Taps bugler.Volunteer if you can.The Boy Scouts have a rich tradition of bugling.You don't have to be a veteran,active or not to play at funerals.Willing and able is all.

Southern Breeze,

My son, for now plays the trombone. He is always looking for a new and challenging piece to learn. While I know that the registers are different, the trombone is not traditional, my son at 12 is very young, we do have a tradtion of service in our family. While we seldom agree with the reasons and justifications our 'leaders' give for putting our folks at risk, the soldiers should be remembered and honored as they are laid to rest. Given all that is there a reason for Taylor to learn 'Taps' other than his own satisfaction?
