What is the bugle?

The word bugle can attack the mind "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", played Andrews' sisters from 1941, but the history of Bugle goes much back than that back to the days when it was used for hunting calls. Although these are brass tools - like trumpets, thrombones and tubas - the Bugles did not have valves. Today there are valve bugles and this newer design increases the pitch to which Bugler has access. Both Mellophone and Flugelhorn can be seen as a descendant of bugles.

Bugle is strongly associated with the army because the call of bugle was used as signals to announce events to soldiers. "Taps" is an official call of bugle used in the United States Army for festive occasions such as funerals and monuments. It is also a signal played every evening to mediate the report that the work of the day is done and the lights should be shown. Contemporary music was modified from an earlier piece of music in July 1862 by the General Department, named Daniel Butterfield, with the assistance of Bugler in his brigade on behalf ofLiver Willcox Norton.

"Reveille," a much brighter piece with a lot of energy is an army signal for calling at the beginning of the day. Other Bugle Field challenges include announcements of everyday events: "Assembly", "Breakfast", "Mail Call", "Drill Call" and "Mess Call". But other calls were field signals for important military operations, such as "rally" - used to regroup troops; “Retreat” - an order for bankruptcy during a military action; And the "march" so that they know the soldiers that it is time to be on the road.

6 BUGLE drums and choir consists of colored guard; The drum section, which includes Pit Percussion as well as a marching battery line and Hornline battery. There are usually three different size bugle sizes - soprano, baritone and double bass - just like melophones and euphonium.
