Recently I convinced the Colonel at my school to let me play the harmonica live for our rotc flag ceremonies rather than play a recorded bugle, which I think isnt comparable to a live player. These calls are used in the military as also some boy scouts I believe.This is whats played while the flags go up in the morning.
