But in the U.S. Army the flag isn't lowered or raised without the bugle call To The Colors. Retreat just signals the end of the official day and the start of evening activities. David H.

Re: [Finale] Army Music (Way OT)
Ah, so there may have been two calls played ... that rings a distant bell in my brain. I don't recall how To the colors went at all, though.

Re: [Finale] Army Music (Way OT)
You know, now I'm thinking it could have been To the colors, (now that I've seen a score), followed by the national anthem. I appreciate all the responses.
