LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I added these video times so my son could practice easier. Thanks so much for this!

thanks for the info... I'm over 75 and DNA... I get sticker shock when I see car prices and other types of shock...the WTF facial expression hits me often.
Thank you for the video. I am the bugler for the troop that I am currently in. I wanted to go for this merit badge because I thought since that all I need to do for Life is wait, so I wanted to do an easy merit badge. I knew most of the songs already but I had a few that I couldn't get the tempo right and they just didn't sound right. Thank you for putting this video together again, it helped a lot.
Pondersam, you played very well. It has been more than 35 years since I have played these calls. I was my Boy Scout Summer Camp Staff Bugler for 5 years and enjoyed doing it. I did play in the key of Bb on my trumpet. Now I am back into Scouting and working with a troop as a MB counselor and was recently asked to teach the Music and Bugling Merit Badges at an upcoming Twilight Camp to Scouts that will be helping out and want to earn a MB while on their down time. Like I said, 30 years, my embusher is shot and I am going to have to start practicing to get it ready for the end of April... I pulled my official BSA bugle (key of F like you played) out of storage and I am going to purchase a cheap trumpet on line so that I have both. I do like the fact that you used a lower register for this and I will follow suit for the class that I will teach. I am going to record your playing so that I have something to help show them.
For anyone interested if you speed up the video to 1.5x it will sound how its traditionally played. if you speed it to 2.0x its then played like a concert musician would play if they were showing off.
This is amazingly helpful! Thank you so much! My only comment is that Taps isn't played here as it is written in the BSA Merit badge booklet. In the third phrase, the G-C-E combination isn't a dotted rhythm - it is written evenly (if you were singing it, it's the "From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky" phrase). You often hear it played as dotted, and it's completely recognizable as Taps anyway if you play it dotted, but I like to point it out to the Scouts I counsel so they can see the difference.
USMC 74-80 I raise and lower the flag every day with revelry and retreat, on sad days I lower it with taps… a shame the scouts are disbanded .. your an honorable man

Hello, I want to learn to play the bugles, I bought it very recently, it is a Boy Scout bugles, but it has a mouthpiece for a boy and I am already grown, which mouthpiece do you recommend to play this bugles, thanks for any advice
If a boy plays the Trumpet or Trombone, could he play those 15 Bugle Calls, and still earn the badge (playing them with the trumpet or trombone)? I may be wrong, but if one can proficiently play a trumpet or trombone, they should be able to play the bugle. With the bugle, it's a matter of "knowing the tunes."
The merit badge handbook says you can earn it on the bugle trumpet or cornet since they are all played the same way but I don’t believe trombone would count since it’s an entirely different instrument
@@scottsopata7405 It was a long time ago, but I earned the Badge on euphonium. It's really a pattern rhythm and chop thing. Trombone in 6th position honors the F - horn root. (same as 1+3 on Bb trumpet) In 8th grade, I did several of these through a week long camp on a baritone and the camo loved it. As an adult getting into a leadership role with Cubs, I'm looking to start adding these in to our ceremonies. (will probably play in a trumpet. )
hey... no offense but isnt that a trumpet? i play on a regular Rexcraft bugle. and i can tounge out the songs but i cant do the eumbosure... could you help me. and i am the troop bugler. if you could help that would be nice. thank you
Kenneth Yen any valve combination can be used for bugling on a trumpet. I chose 1 and 3 because it is a lower range than the open valve position, which most beginners find to be too difficult.
Overlooking the fact that this is a helping video...we used a trumpet because it sounded better when my Scout was learning. Bugles generally are tuned to B flat. So as not to deter 'newbies', I say start out any way you can. If it was easy, EVERYBODY would be doing it. My hat's off to all the boys who have sought to earn this rare badge...
Your cheating man I did these with a Bugle and no 1&3. I however am not bashing on your ability to play them as they not easy but they are also not that hard.
You left out Waiters' Call. Also, To the Colors does NOT command all the respect of the National Anthem; It's a prep call and during it, you come to attention and face the flag. You do NOT render a salute (military salute, scout salute, or hand/hat over heart) until the first note of the National Anthem.
I just read the book and spoke from the heart. I am not formally educated in military code, so forgive me if I stand and put my hand on my heart when they raise the flag.
pondersam Exactly! No problems with that. In fact, that's whole the point. They don't start to raise (or lower) the flag during the "preparatory" bugle calls (either To the Colors or Retreat) that's why they're called "preparatory" calls. They allow people time to stand up, face the flag, and put down anything in their hands, etc. Then when the National Anthem begins (and that's when they begin to raise or lower the flag) They will be ready to render the appropriate salute.
santamanone A clarification: When a band is not present or the anthem is not otherwise being played, To the Colors commands all the same courtesies of the anthem. Don't take pondersam's word for it - here it is from the army: www.music.army.mil/music/buglecalls/tothecolor.asp
Michael Murphy To be perfectly honest, I've never seen a band present. And you're right; I was confusing two separate bugle calls: I was confusing To The Colors with Retreat. Retreat is the preparatory call (at the end of the day) and To The Colors is used in place of the Anthem on occasion. All that said, I don't believe the Air Force (nor the Navy/Marines) use the Army regs, but they should all be very, very similar, if not identical; especially in this regard.

I love hearing the revelie song on campouts in the morning. It’s very nice. One winter camp apparently someone played a trombone as well.
Very Nice!! My son just became troop bugler and will be working on the Meritbadge. This video is SO helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, this is trumpeting! As I explain to the quick learners who listen carefully!

John Serow That’s Awesome, Jake!
I'm the new bugler for troop 993 and I'm in marching band so this helps a lot
You should do the higher level bugle calls too. You are really good at it!
This video was fantastic. Helped my Scout earn the Bugle Badge!
Oh my God, you are so gifted. Every piece is clear and has no errors, very precise and beautiful!!! You must play in the symphony.
Good job doing this all in one take
You are very good. You helped me a lot.
For anyone interested if you speed up the video to 1.5x it will sound how its traditionally played. if you speed it to 2.0x its then played like a concert musician would play if they were showing off.
Retreat 6:00 and To the Colors 7:30 are the ones you're here for boys. Summer camp classics!
this is EXTREMELY helpful thank you!!!
Thank you so much for making this video!
🎉 Advance Happy Philippine Independence! AMEN! 3 Days to Go! 🎊
Perfect Bugle Call
Haha this is my final merit badge. Trying to finish it this month. Thank you so much. 😁

Awesome
Yup imma learn this so when I go to work at the camp I can play
Thank you! Helped me so much!
Big help to us scout moms and scouts!
Thank you for helping me with the badge requirement
USMC 74-80 I raise and lower the flag every day with revelry and retreat, on sad days I lower it with taps… a shame the scouts are disbanded .. your an honorable man
he is playing on the first and third so he can imitate a bugle.
My Gramma born in north Dakota and I thank God and United States of America every single day that I'm alive in Canada British Columbia Kamloops thank you USA 😢
Lets talk about that horn on the wall. Baritone or Euphonium?
It is an Eb Alto horn. Brass bands used them instead of saxophone
Taps is kind of emotional, especially if you know somebody who the song was played in honor of.
Super helpful for me, a boy scout
Thank you for posting this!
I volunteered to be a bugler for my troop this summer.
Very nicely done!
Hello, I want to learn to play the bugles, I bought it very recently, it is a Boy Scout bugles, but it has a mouthpiece for a boy and I am already grown, which mouthpiece do you recommend to play this bugles, thanks for any advice

i have a question does that tuba behind you work?
Where can I get the music
my son has a B flat beginning trumpet. Do you still use the same valve combination?
Kenneth Yen any valve combination can be used for bugling on a trumpet. I chose 1 and 3 because it is a lower range than the open valve position, which most beginners find to be too difficult.
salam from 🇲🇾...i am sea scouter, nowadays in new syllabus there are no more bugle play.. sad me.. 😭
Thats not a bugel its a trumpet .... ????
This isn't really bugling but more trumpeting?
Overlooking the fact that this is a helping video...we used a trumpet because it sounded better when my Scout was learning. Bugles generally are tuned to B flat. So as not to deter 'newbies', I say start out any way you can. If it was easy, EVERYBODY would be doing it. My hat's off to all the boys who have sought to earn this rare badge...
good job. just need to fix the speed on some of the songs
could you practice this on just a mouthpiece?
Yes. You can basically buzz any song
Thanks!
Is this music available online for printing?
Yeah I think I found it on the merit badge website
All 15 tunes are written out in music.....great print out.
Is a scout allowed to use trumpet keys when qualifying for the bugle merit badge, or must he keep the 1st and 3rd depressed?
B-flat is 1 and 3 on a trumpet.....and most bugles are tuned to B flat....
6:42
must be in a high octave so no valves :)
But you can do it with 1 and 3......actually pretty easy to achieve all octaves there...
Please USA /big brother,I will honor you
😳
Your cheating man I did these with a Bugle and no 1&3.
I however am not bashing on your ability to play them as they not easy but they are also not that hard.
Hes trying to teach people not show off
gives me ptsd from boy scout camp 😂💯

That makes sense. Waiters' Call is used in Scout Camp though.
