buglers
Military horn players
Buglers are people who play the bugle, a brass instrument without valves that produces a limited range of notes through lip vibration alone.
Military buglers have historically signaled commands to troops—reveille to wake, taps to mark day's end or honor the fallen.
The buglers sounded the charge.
Outside military contexts, buglers appear in ceremonial settings, scout troops, and brass ensembles.
