I wasn't quite sure where to start this thread, so my apologies if this is in the wrong sub-forum.
Recently I was offered the opportunity to perform Taps for my grandfather's funeral late next month. (He passed away early January and served during the early 1950s, though we're unsure if he deployed to Korea, as he never talked about it with my family.)
I have looked around at several websites but I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this? I'm not entirely sure what procedures/dress (beyond a formal black suit) would be appropriate or required. I have access to a piston-rotor G-Bugle, which I plan to use as my trumpet chops are not where I would want them to be for this sort of performance.
Thank you very much for your time and suggestions. I recognize the solemnity of this performance and want to make sure I do this with the utmost respect and care.
