Teenage Trumpet Player Sets Out to Change “Taps” Stereotype

15-year-old trumpet player Katie Prior of Oklahoma started the Youth Trumpet & Taps Corps as a Girl Scout project when she found out that many fallen military members were laid to rest to a recording of "Taps."

"Taps" has been played at military funerals since the Civil War and in recent times, a recording has replaced a live bugler. The Youth & Taps Corps is trying to change that.
