WELCOME TO T.A.P.P.S


SERVING THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY

‘Taps’ is a 24 note bugle call that is an integral part of Military Honors which
includes the folding and presentation of a United States Burial Flag and,
depending upon the Veteran’s rank, may include a firing party. Since its
beginnings, ‘Taps’ was always performed by a live, military bugler or trumpeter.
However, military cuts and a decline in volunteerism has made a live performance
of ‘Taps’ at every funeral an impossibility. CD players and boomboxes were used
to sound ‘Taps’ at first. Later, a recording played from a speaker inside a
ceremonial bugle became the norm. 

T.A.P.P.S.’s core mission is to honor veterans with a live professional-quality
performance of ‘Taps.’ We estimate that nearly 2,500 veterans are laid to rest
in Southern Nevada each year. We need your help to make sure each one is honored
in a manner truly representative of their service and sacrifice. It must be live
and it must be professional. They gave us no less.




OVER 95% OF DONATIONS GO TO HONORING VETERANS


OUR STORY

On December 3rd, 2012, Leonard William Carpi was laid to rest in Las Vegas, NV.

Leonard was a B-29 Pilot during WWII serving in the 9th Bomb Group, 20th Air
Force out of Tinian and eventually flying missions piloting the “Tokyo KO” plane
over Japan.

The family, wishing to have Leonard honored with a live performance of ‘Echo
Taps’, asked his grandson-in-law Larry Ransom and friend Gary Cordell, both
T.A.P.P.S. cofounders, to perform the call at his service.

After the service, the Air Force Honor Guard Commander expressed to Larry and
Gary that he wished every veteran could be honored in such a way. This sentiment
was the inspiration for what we today call T.A.P.P.S. or the Trumpeters Alliance
to Perform Patriotic Services.

Larry and Gary collaborated with friend and colleague Joe Durk and in January of
2014, T.A.P.P.S. was founded to provide professional-quality live trumpeters to
perform ‘Taps’ at no cost to military families in Southern Nevada. We remain
dedicated to this mission today.
