"To the Colors" seems a little perky.
Perhaps it was "Retreat" (signaling the end of the official day)?
Hope you find it.

Among many repressible memories of my days at Ft. Ord, CA ... I can
remember that, at that post at least, stopping what ever training we
were doing at 1700, I believe, to face the direction of the nearest
American flag and listening to music while it was lowered. I can't
remember if it was a particular bugle call, or the National Anthem. I
know it was not Taps, 'cause that came later, just before lights out,
when I would always shout out, "The thinking lamp is now lit!" (not
popular with the platoon sgt.). I just recall it being a gentle,
calming experience after a long day of running up and down sand
hills, and inserting my bayonet into the rubber ribs of a dummy.
Anybody remember what said music was?
