According to Springfield Connection, " Thirteen local musicians came together from West Springfield High School and Lake Braddock bands, Bugles Across America, Boy Scouts and the community. The buglers spread 500 to 700 feet apart throughout Daventry, passed the call by sharing the first and last bars of Taps for a moving remembrance that wound through the neighborhood and touched all those who witnessed the ceremony and those who participated."
As per Springfield Connection, "After the buglers met for a distanced group photo, Andrew Egerstrom, who recruited buglers from West Springfield High School, proposed an encore performance in his nearby neighborhood and the buglers jumped at the opportunity. Wevley’s hope is that this concept will continue and spread to other neighborhoods and communities and that local trumpet players, young and old, will be inspired to use their talents to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice."
For long, the Daventry neighborhood in West Springfield has continued its tradition of honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation in a Memorial Day service. This year was different due to social distancing rules. Local buglers interspersed through the neighborhood and played a cascading version of "Echo Taps" starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 25.
