Why Start Operation Taps?
-
More US Military Veterans are passing away than at any time in our history.
-
Because of changes to who's eligible for Honors, more veterans have the right to receive the playing of Taps.
-
People seem to think there are "No More Buglers" to play Taps.
Yet, Drum Corps Associates is enjoying a wave of growth:
-
More competing corps nationwide.
-
The astounding growth and popularity of Alumni Corps.
-
The booming expansion of Mini-Corps and Brass Ensembles.
Operation Taps is designed to re-establish the drum and bugle corps activity's connection with our respective communities.
