Band Music with Bugle Parts

Military bands often had the field music (the buglers and drummers assigned to the various combat companies) join them. There are a number of marches written for wind band that include a bugle part. So far, I have found over thirty from the early 20th century. These could be fun pieces for a wind/concert band to play using actual bugles as a feature. A bugle band could also cut out the rests and use the main theme section as a bugle tune on its own.
