Buglers

/ˈbjuːɡlərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bugler; people who play bugles, especially in military, scouts, or ceremonial settings.

Etymology

From 'bugle' plus the agentive suffix '-er' (one who does something), then pluralized with '-s'. The word has been used since the 1600s in military contexts.

Kelly Says

Military buglers had to memorize dozens of calls for different situations—Reveille, Taps, Charge—making them skilled musicians who shaped soldiers' entire day through sound alone.
