U.S. Army Herald Trumpets : ウィキペディア英語版 | U.S. Army Herald Trumpets
The U.S. Army Herald Trumpets is a musical ensemble of the United States Army chiefly responsible for signaling the approach of the President of the United States at state occasions with entrance and exit fanfares, but also charged with providing general public duties support in the Military District of Washington and beyond. ==History and mission==
Designated as the "official fanfare ensemble for the President of the United States," the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets were activated in 1959 at the suggestion of Army Band coronetists William Bramwell Smith, Jr., and Gilbert Mitchell.〔 Its first public performance was for the arrival of President Dwight Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth II at the official opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway and its first White House state arrival ceremony was during the 1960 state visit of Charles de Gaulle. In addition to state occasions, the unit has also performed for the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971, the opening of the World’s Fair in Knoxville in 1982, the opening ceremonies of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid, and the Summer Olympic Games at Los Angeles in 1984, the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, and other important events. The unit is most widely seen at state and official arrival ceremonies at the White House where it performs three times in the order of events: first, "Ruffles and Flourishes" and "Hail to the Chief" for the arrival of the President of the United States; second, "Call to Statesmanship" for the arrival of the visiting head of state or chief of government; third, "Presidential Processional" as the President of the United States returns to the White House. (The respective national anthems, and other music during the ceremony, are performed by the United States Marine Band.) The unit is operationally part of the U.S. Army Band. It is not the only fanfare unit in the United States military. The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command also fields a 15-man herald trumpet unit posted at Fort Eustis near Newport News, Virginia, while the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps of the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment has a five-man fanfare unit that performs on baroque trumpets.
