This is
an incredible performance that should impress you by her skill and the crowd's
reverence.
The
conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland .
The young lady, her trumpet and her rendition of TAPS makes your hair
stand on end. Many of you may never have heard taps played in its
entirety
For all of the men and women who have died for you to have the
freedom we have in America .
This is an
opportunity you won't want to miss and you'll never forget.
Amazingly
beautiful Melissa Venema, age 13, is the trumpet soloist. Here is Taps played in
its entirety. The Original version of Taps was called Last Post,
and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was rather lengthy and formal,
as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and
re-named Taps. Melissa Venema is playing it on a trumpet whereby the original
was played on a bugle. Enjoy Click on link below to here this special
