Did I set my alarm last night? What time is it? No need to worry; the bugle call didn’t sound yet! Camp runs on a set schedule, we wake up, we 
eat, we each do daily activities, but everyone’s schedule is the same when it comes to time and where we are supposed to be. The bugle call explains everything with a sound for when to wake up, when to eat, or just where to be. It was originally used on the battlefield many years ago, but has turned into the sounds of daily routines of camps around the country.
There are many different kinds of bugle calls from Reveille in the morning to Tattoo and Taps for the end of the day. They all have a different sound and beat to them. It’s amazing how one simple song can tell you where to be on camp. As the days dwindle down to the summer of 2012, we can’t wait to sound off that first bugle and gather camp together for the first time.
If you can’t live 10 months without them, don’t forget you can always download all the bugle calls to your iPod!
