For those that are not familiar with Bugle Calls, I have listed below some of the most common onces and their meaning / when they are used. If you have other questions, let me know!
Reveille: Sounded for troops to make the morning roll call. Also commonly used at scout camps to signal the time to wake up and get the day started.
Assembly: Sounded for troops to assemble in formation on the parade field for morning roll call, report and the Morning Colors ceremony.
To The Colors: Sounded when raising the Standard (flag). The Navy refers to this call as "Morning Colors" and was followed by the "carry on" signal on most Naval bases.
Taps: Played as the last call of the day - to stop all talking and have lights out by the last note. Also adapted to be played at the funerals of veterans who have passed away and to be played when a flag is lowered on special holidays such as Armed Forces Day, Flag Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, etc.
