German army bugle calls[edit]

This post (http://able2know.org/topic/86304-1) claims, "The 6 note call attributed to Tommy Walker and the USC Marching band were in the German Army Manual for WWI entitled No. 20 No. 2 Battery" (http://www.lovettartillery.com/WW1%20Era%20Grman%20Army%20Bugle%20Calls.html). I'm not good at reading music, and I'm not very inclined to do the research for this, but I thought I'd put this out there. Talu42 (talk) 23:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting a secondary source quoting Wikipedia[edit]

Isn't it kind of silly/redundant to quote a Slate article that quotes as its source Wikipedia articles since 2007? Reference 2 seems to be enough here. 95.172.68.146 (talk) 08:54, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing to merge Charge (bugle call) into this page[edit]

A Charge (bugle call) is very similar in nature to a Charge (fanfare) and can be used interchangeably particularly at sporting events. Two independent articles are not really needed in this case. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 00:58, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Different tunes, different origins. Interchangeable? Got a reliable source for that? Just plain Bill (talk) 01:05, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No way! See my post below. Its two very different tunes.

Closing, as there doesn't seem to be any support for the idea. Klbrain (talk) 07:47, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No! The bugle call for cavalry charge, is well known and quite famous[edit]

Historically not used by anyone else but the US Cavalry in the 18th century. Its a very famous call, so it deserves a separate wikipedia page, even though hollywood never manage to get the call 100% correct. Fanfare is a totally different thing. Here is the correct version of the bugle call for a cavalry charge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vna4AAC1bdE — Preceding unsigned comment added by TomV71 (talk • contribs) 12:54, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What about the start?[edit]

What about the beginning bit, before the six notes? The bit that builds up through the four-note sequence that keeps advancing up the musical scale? It builds up, then "CHARGE!".

So, who invented that part? Surely everyone knows it. 94.197.121.123 (talk) 23:34, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
