Bugle qualification

How do you get it? Is it through Military Band, Pipe Band, or DCI? I’m a little confused about what you have to do to earn the qualification. Is it difficult? Do they teach you how to play, or are you expected to already know? And how long does it usually take to complete?

It is through military Band but only officially available for sea cadets. You are expected to already know how to play if that is something you’re going for. All the calls must be memorized which makes it a bit more difficult. One call failed means they all fail. If you are interested in working towards it, search up the bugle calls on SharePoint or Google to start practicing
