D'Cats--

As always, when stumped for a musical question, I come here!

We're playing a wedding this weekend, and the bride just asked me last night if it was possible to play (either live or a recording) of the trumpet call that signals that a horse race is about to start.

Anyone have any ideas where I might find the dots or a downloadable rendition or a recording of this trumpet call?

Many thanks--

V

Go here: http://bands.army.mil/music/bugle/default.asp I think the one you want is "First Call".

'First Call', or 'Assembly of Buglers', known in horsracing as the 'Call to Post'
