FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tulsa Area High School Trumpeters Train to Play Taps at Military Funerals
In response to audio recordings of Taps being played at military veterans’ funerals, the
Youth Trumpet & Taps Corps is training local high school trumpet players in the art of
playing Taps to ensure veterans receive the live tribute they deserve.
Students from across eastern Oklahoma will attend a training workshop at Central Center
in Centennial Park, March 26th
from 10:30 AM – 12:45 PM. The event is being supported
locally by the VFW District 5 Honor Guard.
"It’s an honor to participate in the celebration of the lives of veterans who helped make
our country what it is today," said Katie Prior, Youth Trumpet & Taps Corps Founder.
The Youth Trumpet & Taps Corps was founded by Katie Prior- a tenth grader herself-
after she discovered that many veterans receive an audio recording of Taps instead of a
live performance. Katie earned her Girl Scout Gold Award for the project and has since
expanded the program across the country with over 60 student volunteers in 16 states.
Student volunteers will be eligible to earn $25 GiftofCollege.com tuition cards for
funerals served in 2016 thanks to donations from LeadingAgile and UltraThin.com.
