SECTION 5 - CALLS

  1. A call is a musical composition normally played on a trumpet, bugle or bagpipe that:
    1. may be a regimental call that musically identifies a specific regiment, or other organization; or
    2. may be a routine call that musically announces or orders specific timings or actions (e.g., Reveille, Alert, General Salute, Last Post);
    3. in general, when a regimental call is sounded, it is normally followed by the appropriate routine call.
  2. Regimental calls are unique to one unit or organization on the Canadian order of battle. Where a branch/corps call is authorized, it applies to all functional units of that branch/corps.
  3. Authorized calls shall be adhered to without addition or alteration, either in sounding or application. Authorized calls are published with user guidance in A-PD-202-001/FP-000, CF Band Instructions (soon to be replaced by A-DH-202-001/FP-000, Canadian Armed Forces Music Instructions, Volume 2, Marches, Calls and Protocols).
