Hello, I am Jari Villanueva better known around the nation as the TAPS BUGLER. Bugle calls and trumpet fanfares can be an important part of many special events. Whether sounding a call for attention or announcement, sounding To The Color at a patriotic ceremony, playing "To The Post" at a racing event, playing the National Anthem, performing "Taps" at a funeral or memorial service, sounding "The Last Post" at ceremonies, Taps Bugler can provide this service to you. I am a retired bugler from the US Air Force Band and sounded "Taps" at Arlington National Cemetery for 23 years. I have performed at Memorial Day and Veterans Day services in the Baltimore/Washington area, at many funerals and church services and at many Civil War related events. I also sound trumpet fanfares at weddings and special events.

You can always find me by searching for Taps Bugler. I am quite active on the east coast

I sound Taps in a military uniform, Civil War uniform or dark suit, to fit the occasion. I am available on short notice and perform on a real bugle. I would never us a fake bugle!!

We use the proceeds we receive to support TAPSBUGLER and TAPS FOR VETERANS organizations.

He is great! There was another funeral near us at about the same time. Their recorded Taps failed, and Jari valiantly and seamlessly jumped in to finish Taps for them. It was an honor to have him at our service.

So many people at the our memorial event were so moved by the performance (Ballad of the Green Berets, Taps)! Taps Bugler (Jari) is a class act. With deepest gratitude, JD White

Jari was perfect just what I was thinking about for our daughters wedding ceremony. I would not hesitate to recommend him, he was a pleasure to work with for the singers and organists at the wedding. Again 100 percent satisfied.
