I find bugle calls fascinating. I didn't know there were so many calls other than Reveille, Call To The Post, and Taps. I played trombone in the high school marching band, and a trumpet player let me try his trumpet and explained to me that you can do bugle calls on any brass instrument if you know how to play any other, because a trumpet in open position works just like a trombone in 1st position, which gives you the notes you need for bugle calls.
Yes, but these were about half the bugle calls we used. There are at least a dozen more including To the Colors, Call to CQ, Sick Call, Mess Call, Tattoo, Fatigue, Swim Call and Fire Call.
@@eddarby469 Some of the calls you mentioned are featured in other videos. I didn't know there was a swim or fire call. Now that I think about it, I remember in one summer camp I attended, someone did "To The Colors" when raising the flag at an assembly, and did Taps at bedtime, and they could have done Mess for meals or Swim when we had free swim period.
A good book is "the last post" written by Alwyn W. Turner. It's a full history of bugle, a communications device, terrorise the enemy, a really interesting history .
Besides the standard dozen or so bugle calls required for the Boy Scout Merit Badge, over the years I collected many more; a few British calls (Stand To, Last Post, couple more) General Quarters/Battle stations (for Marines aboard ship) and a few odd U S Army calls (Stable call, for instance): But my pride and joy was The General's March. SO, at one time in my life, I could sound about thrity-six (36) calls - and fairly well at that. Long ago and far away, now.
Family Guy made a joke about waking up the whole family using one of these. The fact that Peter would learn how to play it just for that is pretty funny.
Very nice. Reminiscent of my youth growing up on Fort Bragg, reville in the morning, to raise the colors, evening call to lower them. All the cars stopped ,everyone got out, soldiers and Boy Scouts saluted, others placed their right hand over their heart. Taps at my Father's funeral. Still feel the chills.
So beautiful !!! About a decade in the military and these calls still echo in my mind..... Absolutely amazing God we have that gave us such an incredible ability to remember the "good times"
I remember hearing those calls on old western cavalry movies. I used to play them on my guitar, but I haven't been able to do it yet on my Harbor Freight bugle.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. I had no idea there was so many bugle calls. It has slowly faded out of the Army Calvary. Im from D Co. 1/8th Calvary Ft. Hood, Tx. . . I kind of get choked up when ever i hear Taps. 🇺🇲
Thanks for serving up these bugle calls that I know very well. My grandmother bought me a bugle when I was 7 or 8 years old and I played it at many and various occasions through out my life. I still have it , but i don't have the wind to play it like I did when I was young.
God Bless all those that have paid the ultimate measure of devotion. The thirteen that died in Kabul on August 26, 2021 gave their lives in name of liberty- not for glory or empire but the concept that is America the Beautiful as One Nation Under God. Let us pray that we continue as the Shining City on the Hill that is the beacon of shelter from oppression. God Bless the USA
Taps is special to me. Back in 1979, I was on a trip to Las Vegas with my parents, and we met up with my grandparents there. I was in an arcade playing a gun fighting game called Boot Hill. The machine plays Taps when the game is over, and my grandfather happened to see me playing the game and pointed that out to me. I didn't realize until I grew up that he pointed out the machine playing Taps because he was in the military. That was the last time I saw my grandfather before he was on his last legs in the hospital 3 months later.
I wasn’t in the military but the summer camp I went to for two years used First Call, Reveille, and Taps and this really brought up a lot of strong memories
Really nice clear post, thanks! Great tone quality but untrue to the quality of most bugles. Could you make a recording showing some of the keys (often odd ball) and tone qualities of bugles (old to modern); My favorite bugle meets a U.S. Government bid requirement for bugles purchased between 1862 to 1877 (I believe) and plays in a key similar to our present Eb. Some of these bugles sound like a piece of garden hose and some are remarkably good. Also in the old west (Texas , Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona etc. Cavalry Buglers sometimes sometimes played a smaller pitched horn (higher pitch) as a "recall" bugle. Always feed the horses after playing a few high pitches. If the horses got loose or were stolen they could often be recalled with high pitches = lunch. Thanks again.
Wow. The Norwegian signal for meal time is exactly identical to the American reveile. The Norwegian lyrics to this, is «Now there is food to get, now there is food to get, bring your own knife, spoon and fork». My grandfather would always sing this song when dinner was ready. «Nå er det mat å få, nå er det mat å få, ta med deg skje, kniv og gaffel». :)

@@charliet1346 you make minecraft videos I don’t think your so much different to this “child”, a joke is a joke it’s not meant to be taken seriously. If you take offence to it that’s on you not him.
When I was a kid there was a big field behind my house where my brothers and sisters would play. When it was dinner time my dad would play Reveille on his bugle from the backdoor to call us home. My sister still gets embarrassed when we bring it up :)
Wow! I don't think I'd be able to remember all of these. If I were in the service, the bugle call would play, and I'd be like, "Wait, what are we supposed to be doing now?"🙂
Ft Hood, Texas - late 70's early 80's most of the calls were played over big loudspeakers...at least in the 1st Cavalry Division area... at the end of the day, if you were in your car and "Retreat" was played, you stopped, and, if in uniform, got out of the car and faced west. "To the Colors" was every morning, rain or shine, as the battalion hq had the stars and stripes raised. Kinda miss all of that!
@@monocline9430 1 year later - I owe you some pushups! Revellie in the morning with the flag being raised. You are correct - Retreat and then To The Color at close of business.
I find this quete touching, even though i hate and despise everything related to war. But i love music, and here music is a call. Speach solidified in music.
I will add my poem... Bugle Call Reveille for ending of the night? Or for sunrise of new birth… Retreat In the autumn dusk, a backing off or pausing to reflect? both…perhaps… Taps hard bugle to call… Celebrate the history of the day, Forgive what might have been. Friendship with each moment . my father played cornet in the Purdue Marching Band...was an Eagle Scout and played the calls at Scout Camp...My daughter at 10 years old, played taps for first time at his funeral...At 51 she is a member of national taps organization, that plays taps at funerals, when asked, free of charge.
It’s crazy to have these specific and all different calls. Like what?! Who came up with these?! And now everyone on the battlefield and surrounding areas must know these calls!
the frst call and reveille, i was searching for both in all of my life and rn im a sailor student which mostly all the sailors uses the first call as morning alarm, thx for the video
In 1975 while attending the US Army School of Music at the Naval Amphibious Base in Little Creek, Va all of the trumpet players in the Army Band had to memorize the bugle calls. Not sure if they do this any more???

So beautiful !!!
About a decade in the military and these calls still echo in my mind.....
Absolutely amazing God we have that gave us such an incredible ability to remember the "good times"
These evoked strong memories and emotions. I was in Military School in the 60s and these are etched in my memory.
I loved the last one... Respect for Harrison

0:09 this had me in tears😂❤️
My mom just got me one from a yard sale and now I'm here😂
lmaoooo
We also got one from a local fair
Thats a sick find
When i heard TAPS my tears are going down.😭
1:34 the best for me !
recall does not exist anymore
Waking up every morning to a bugle stays with you always .
I had to learn most of these calls to earn my bugling merit badge in Boy Scouts.
How the heck do you play different notes on that thing when it's got no keys?
We adjust the embouchure or lip tension to play the notes c, g and e in roughly an octave range.
@@Cowgirlmickey a bugle is just a trumpet w/o keys
@@Cowgirlmickey a bugle is a kazoo that plays in lieu of morning stew.
With a bugle you can only play notes in the Harmonic series
Excellent video. Concise and informative. Thumb's up. thanks for uploading
Thanks!
I remember hearing those calls on old western cavalry movies. I used to play them on my guitar, but I haven't been able to do it yet on my Harbor Freight bugle.
I remember in BCT and AIT I used to love laying in bed and listening to Taps. I would think to myself “one day closer until I go to my unit”.
Used this to wake the neighbors at the cabin when I was 6. Aaah good times

First Call wakes the troops, Reveille honors the flag. That is why soldiers stand and salute at the sounding of Reveille.

Very good "overview" of bugle calls!!! Thank you!!!
I will add my poem...
Bugle Call
Reveille
for ending
of the night?
Or for sunrise
of new birth…
Retreat
In the autumn dusk,
a backing off
or pausing to reflect?
both…perhaps…
Taps
hard bugle to call…
Celebrate the history of the day,
Forgive what might have been.
Friendship with each moment .

When you need to wake up all of our heroes to suit up and to fight all their baddies that teamed up and save the world
Enjoyed, thanks very much.
I'm a huge American history/Civil War enthusiast, and hope you'll do more of these?
Reveille and Taps seem to be the only 2 well known for the regular joe in the world
came here for the bugler mating call
I don't know why but this reminds me of the little einstiens show, and how they played music a lot
I was just thinking that!
It makes sense why they chose taps, a last call for those who sleep eternally
It’s interesting how they managed to make taps sound sad even though it’s in C major
Thank you very much for this fascinating video !
Wow! Thanks very much for this. Exactly what i've been looking for. Great video!
I am so in love with it!!!!!
How about "Charge?"
Last one alive lock the door
@@rakstar343 lol
It’s a classic wake up tone for camp 🎼
Whenever I hear "First Call" I think "Call to Post" and horse races. Place ya bets! It's post time! Where's my fancy derby hat? :P
Why does rapelle make me want to yell charge?
Taps just makes you cry
Charge! Probably the the common bugle call in the movies.
