TAPS - Rendition by a 13 year-old
Most of us have never heard "Taps" played in full. It was written in 1801 by Daniel Butterfield and titled "The Last Post." It was originally played on a bugle. but Melissa Venema's trumpet solo will make your hair stand on end.

7. That's not Taps.
It is beautiful, it does share notes, but that is certainly not taps.
