  • TAPS PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES Jari Villanueva
    TAPS PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES Jari Villanueva www.tapsbugler.com www.TapsForVeterans.org There are two pieces of music that stir the hearts and emotions of Americans-The Star-Spangled Banner and Taps. Over the sixteen years I’ve sounded Taps at Arlington and at other cemeteries, there are ceremonies that stand out in my memory. Of all the times I’ve sounded the call, the most memorable were the times I sounded it at the Tomb of the Unknowns. To me to this is the highest honor that a bugler can perform. It is the military musician’s equivalent of “playing Carnegie Hall.” I sounded the call at the funeral of General Ira Eaker, commander of the 8th Air Force during World War II, and for the funeral of General Godfrey McHugh, Air Force Aide to President Kennedy. I sounded the British call “Last Post” at the grave of a W.W. II Australian flyer who is buried at ANC, in a ceremony attended by the Australian Air Force Chief of Staff. On every Memorial Day weekend for the past twelve years I have performed at a memorial service for the Flying Tigers, the W.W. II flying group, at the Old Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington. This is especially moving for me, to see these real heroes of a previous generation. The hardest funerals at which I’ve been asked to sound Taps were those of active duty military members. One such was a funeral in Oil City, Pennsylvania for a nineteen-year-old airman who was killed by a drunk driver while on his way to his first duty assignment.
