It is my understanding that when using a bugle, To the Colors would be
played in place of the National Anthem being played by a band. I base
this on nothing other than what I've read at the Army page concerning
bugle calls.
The "Retreat Ceremony" involves playing Retreat to signal the end of the
official day, and To The Colors to honor the flag as it is lowered. To
The Colors is also played in the morning to honor the flag as it is raised.
That's the way we did it while I was a military bandsman.
