About The Event

Sounds of Remembrance

On November 11, 2018, at precisely 11:00 am (local times), buglers and trumpeters from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War with a worldwide sounding of Taps and The Last Post, sponsored by Taps for Veterans. Each performer will sound their call at a location of their choosing. Those locations will include WWI monuments, memorials, public squares, churches, and Veterans Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies.

As of October 29, almost 400 buglers from 40 states and 5 countries had already signed up to participate and organizers hope to eventually have more than 1000 participants registered. Interested buglers and trumpeters should register at https://tapsforveterans.org/soundsofremembrance/. 

All registered participants will be listed on the event website and included on the interactive world map of the event. The videos they submit of their sounding of Taps or The Last Post on November 11 will also be posted on the website and all participants will receive a commemorative patch from Taps for Veterans following the event. In addition one participant, whose name will be chosen from the registered list, will receive an original World War One era bugle.
