Here is a link I found on Youtube that plays taps correctly. Straight eighth notes in the middle. This is good for all branches of the military services except the Marines.
The Marines use dotted eighth notes throughout. It is different because the Marines want it that way.
It is best to find out for which branch of the military service you are performing and play accordingly.
This version is a little slow but so well done in tone color I thought I would post it.
Taps is at the end of the video. If it doesn't work cut and paste the v=kxws-q08f7q after you get into youtube. In other words, mess with the url and you'll get it to work.
