Silver Taps

Silver Taps will be held at Texas A&M University Tuesday, April 7, to honor the memory of Kelley Raye Miller Herman '18 of Fort Worth, a student at the Texas A&M School of Law, who died Feb. 13.

Silver Taps, one of the university’s most solemn traditions. The campus will be darkened at 10:20 p.m. In the darkness, students, family and friends will silently gather in the plaza in front of the Academic Building. At 10:30 p.m., an honor guard from the Ross Volunteer Company will march across campus from the Corps of Cadets area to the plaza, where its members will fire three rifle volleys to honor the memory of this student. Buglers from the Aggie Band, unseen in the darkness, will play a special arrangement of “Taps.” The tolling of the Albritton Tower bells will signal the end of the ceremony.
