Hancock Leadership Class of 2022-2023 Class Project:

Hancock County Taps – Honoring Those Who Served

Project Background
Taps, the ceremonial bugle call that signals the end of service, is played with 24 of the most powerful, meaningful musical notes for Veterans. Hancock County Taps – Honoring Those Who Served is the class project for the Hancock Leadership Class of 2023. Hancock County Taps is the brainchild of Carl Hayslett, a local Magistrate and musician who has performed Taps at countless military funerals and memorial services. Carl grew up next to Wright Patterson Air Force Base and developed a deep respect for the U.S. Military and its Veterans, including his father and grandfather. Carl internalized the meaning of Taps, not only how to play those 24 musical notes, beautifully, but also the significance of when a Veteran is laid to rest and receives this final, well-deserved honor.
