About Bugler's Holiday:
"I like to write about people who don't do the things that they should. And I've often thought, what would 3 [professional] buglers do on their day off. They would probably kick up their heels and just have a good time all to themselves, so in the next piece, "Bugler's Holiday", you'll hear some bugle calls that may sound familiar, but you'll also probably realize that they are not played regulation and they wouldn't get away with it on the post. " - Leroy Anderson
