[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGnZxcS7VKA Reveille]] is a bugle call most often associated with the U.S. military, where it is used to wake up military personnel at sunrise. The name is taken from "réveillé" (or "réveil"), the French word for "wake up", as stated by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reveille Reveille article]] at Website/TheOtherWiki.

In fiction, Reveille is often used to wake up a character, whether they are in the military or at summer camp. If PlayedForLaughs, the melody may be played on an instrument other than the bugle.

* Appears as a plot point in one of the ''Literature/McAuslan''-stories. The narrator mentions that reveille is usually played by a lone bugler, but on Friday mornings, reveille is played by the regiment's massed pipes and drums. The reveille always, for reasons of carefully calculated cheeky insubordination, always begins just outside the Bachelor Officer's Quarters. Being hit with "Johnnie Cope" at full blast from five feet away at 6 a.m. causes one of the narrator's messmates to assume that the Americans have dropped the Bomb.
* In one of his war autobiographies, Creator/SpikeMilligan relates that as a professional trumpet-player prior to conscription, he took his trumpet to war with him. After a while, his Royal Artillery unit noticed this and asked him to be the "badgey" who played the Reveille call in the morning. Milligan recalls that he'd try to do this without getting out of bed, and play the call through an open window in his barracks. As a professional player, he also claims to have sent a price list to his commanding officer, pointing out the Charge would cost more, with a component for danger money, but he was prepared to play the Retreat for nothing as a public service.
