They&#8217;re really dedicated, and people who have done it for some time are very loyal and want to keep doing it. I think there&#8217;s a camaraderie and a bonding that happens for us,\u201d said Erika Schafer, professor in the Department of Music, coordinator of the \u201cTaps\u201d project and a trumpet player herself.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk Bailey took the 30-minute ride from Jasper, Tennessee, in Marion County to play \u201cTaps,\u201d but it was a tough decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI originally wasn&#8217;t going to do this because this Nov. 11 is the two-year anniversary that my grandfather died. The last year or so of his life we were living right next to him because we had to take care of him,\u201d said Bailey, a freshman at Marion County High School.<\/p>\n<p>Serving in the Vietnam War with the U.S. Army, his grandfather was wounded when a bomb exploded near him, Bailey said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt completely screwed up his hearing and screwed up a bunch of other stuff with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Bailey decided to be part of the \u201cTaps\u201d project as a tribute to his grandfather, an especially poignant choice since the two share a name. Kirk Bailey\u2019s grandfather was Archie Kirk.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"880\"
