It is also used when a full band is not available to render honors and commands all the same courtesies as our National Anthem. Chris Ferguson combines the standard bugle calls into this easy march for beginning students. Students are already familiar with it so they can be successful right away. The optional solo sections may also be performed in reference to the traditional solo bugle call. Ferguson brings a wealth of experiences working with beginners that have translated into this wonderful new march for young students.
