Play-along video
Composed in 1954, it is one of the most popular light-music pieces for trumpet, full of fast triple and double tonguing, bugle calls and a cheerful, festive atmosphere.
Bugler's Holiday is a favourite for concerts, band performances and school events. This backing track lets you practise the demanding articulation at tempo and prepare the piece with your section or on your own.
Practice tips
- Practise double and triple tonguing slowly and evenly first.
- Keep the sound bright and the notes short.
- With a trio, rehearse the passages where parts alternate.
