In the US Navy, "Morning Colors" (the same call as To The Colors) is sounded the moment the flag is raised in the morning. The previously mentioned Retreat is named "Evening Colors" by the US Navy, and is played by itself. See Manual for Buglers, U.S. Navy, [2] articles 35 and 75 pertaining to Morning and Evening Colors calls.
On ships of the U.S. Navy, "First Call" is sounded at 07:55, 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 hoist commences at the first note of To the Color, with the flag reaching the top of its staff or pole at the last note. Similarly, Retreat is sounded before the evening gun, followed by To the Color as the flag is lowered, with similar synchronization of call and hoist. __ Just plain Bill 15:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
