Memorial Day at Edmonds Landing by Cogir–My 3rd Performance There
Posted by glennled on July 9, 2025
After sounding bugle calls in the morning at the Memorial Day ceremony, 26 May 2025, at Veterans Park in Lynnwood, I drove to (formerly) Edmonds Landing Retirement Community in Edmonds in the afternoon to perform my one-hour trumpet show, “I Stand for the Flag.” It consists of about two dozen patriotic marches, songs, and bugle calls. The residents sing along with me.
It was my third performance there, but this time, the ownership and the facility’s name are new—Edmonds Landing by Cogir—and so is the Lifestyle Director, Stephanie Fyfe. Please see https://cogirusa.com/communities/cogir-of-edmonds/?rcstdid=Mg==-YRjTEizZPgM=&utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=organic. They offer assisted living and memory care. I am grateful they invited me to play there again.
I have six one-hour trumpet shows. During this one, I use all five of my horns: Getzen trumpet and bugle, Jupiter pocket trumpet, ACB (Austin Custom Brass) flugelhorn, and Olds Super cornet (71 years old, given to me by my parents when I became a freshman in high school).

I bet the show was a fantastic toe-tapping event.

Indeed, it was! If no one else did, at least I did…sometimes it’s my right toe, sometimes it’s my right heel.
