[ANSTHRLD] Suggestions needed

[Alden Drake]

A bugler sounding calls is different from a musician playing a horn.  
The purpose of bugle calls is to gain the attention of an audience and 
provide instruction.  This is in keeping with the function of a herald, 
so a trumpeter sounding calls would effectively be serving a role as a 
herald, or deputy herald.  I would also add a trumpeter who sounds a 
call prior to an event taking place, like opening court with a fanfare 
of trumpets, or signaling that an announcement is to be made (as in your 
example).  They are purposefully trying to get everyone's attention, 
much like a herald crying "Oyez!".
