The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland . The young lady, her trumpet and her rendition of TAPS, make your hair stand on end. Most of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety, for all of the men and women who have died for you so you would have the freedom you have in America . This is an opportunity you won't want to miss, and you'll never forget.
Melissa Venema, age 13, is the trumpet soloist. Here is TAPS played in its entirety. The original version of TAPS was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip. In 1862, it was shortened to 24 notes and renamed TAPS. Melissa is playing it on a trumpet, whereby the original was played on a bugle.
