At a U.S. military installation it is a pre-reveille "courtesy" signal, sounded around 05:50, originally to assemble the trumpeters to deliver the reveille that would be forthcoming at 06:00. Some locations also sound it a few minutes before retreat (lowering the flag at the end of the day). In other military contexts it may be used (e.g. 5 minutes) prior to sounding Assembly for any particular formation. Individuals who have not fallen in by the last note of Assembly may be considered late or AWOL.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}} On ships of the US Navy, First Call is sounded at 0755, five minutes ahead of Morning Colors (raising the national ensign), and 5 minutes before Evening Colors (lowering the national ensign). In the absence of a bugle, the word is passed, "First call, first call to colors." The same ceremony takes place on shore establishments but not on ships underway.[1] At a horse race, it is a signal that all mounts should be at the paddock exit in order to proceed to the track to begin the post parade. The tune is usually sounded by a bugler five to ten minutes before the scheduled start time of the race. The call serves a similar purpose in dog racing. When used for this purpose, the bugle call is usually referred to as the Call to the Post.[2] {{clear}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/xf-nvtd.html#hoisting|title=Naval traditions about flags|publisher=|accessdate=2 July 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/sports/a-last-hurrah-for-hollywood-park.html|title=A Last Hurrah for Hollywood Park|date=15 December 2013|work=The New York Times|accessdate=2 July 2016}} External multimedia
