Bill Hershey -- Click To Call:
I am a certified, highly skilled Taps Bugler at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery (JBNC) and was a professional trumpeter with The United States Army Band ("Pershing's Own") at Fort Myer, Virginia where my assignments included sounding Taps at Arlington National Cemetery.
Hire me as your professional Live Taps Bugler. During funeral arrangements with the Funeral Director, please mention you want Live Taps sounded. For services 50 or more miles outside the Saint Louis, Missouri vicinity, an added mileage/time amount will be factored into my fee.
As your
Taps Bugler
for sounding
Live Taps, be confident I will play a beautiful, soulful rendition for the veteran's last farewell 24 note salute.
I am not a pro bono (plays for free) member of
Bugles Across America; instead, I am a professional, highly skilled trumpeter. I am a member of the Saint Louis Musician's Union Local
2-197.
Bugler
Bill Hershey
is better known around the Saint Louis area as the
Live Taps
Bugler. Whether sounding a call for "Attention," sounding "To The Color" at a patriotic ceremony, playing "To The Post" at a racing event, playing the "National Anthem," rendering "Taps" at a funeral or memorial service, or sounding "The Last Post" at ceremonies, these calls can provide a perfect option. I was a professional, highly skilled trumpeter / Taps Bugler with
The United States Army Band
(Pershing's Own) at Fort Myer, Virginia and sounded "Taps" at
Arlington National Cemetery
as a member of this elitist military band.
Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
is currently where I have performed at
Memorial Day
and
Veterans Day
services in the Saint Louis area. I have sounded
Live Taps
at thousands of funerals and church funeral services, and at Civil War related events. I also sound brilliant, attention-grabbing trumpet fanfares using a piccolo trumpet at weddings and special events.
