: Origin of "Face the Music". Another possibility is during military times for bugle calls, for instance, "Retreat", the lowering of the Flag. We were instructed that if we could hear the music, but not physically see the Flag, we were to turn and "Face the Music".

Now I'm going to have this song in my head, "Let's Face the Music and Dance."
