German army bugle calls

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)

Quoting a secondary source quoting Wikipedia

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)

Proposing to merge Charge (bugle call) into this page

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)

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

• 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)

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

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)

What about the start?

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)
