Lance Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Lance has submitted A-Level research in referencing my Buglers Hall of Fame brother Jari Villanueva, the world's foremost authority on US military bugle calls. In a couple of weeks a group of us will be attending his National Civil War Field Music School in Petersburg, VA. I'm not sure who qualifies as the most overrated corps of the 1860s, but I would suggest that the bugler from G Company of the 20th Maine is the undisputed I&E champ. It was he who played "Fix Bayonets" and the infantry "Charge" that drove the Rebs from Little Roundtop and changed the outcome of Gettysburg and, quite arguably, the rest of the war. His Bb clairon had none of those new-fangled valves, neither. very cool, though it was ozark who submitted the link to your friend's description of the origin of taps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
