THE MESSAGE
"When a bugle gives a single, short blast, that's the signal for the leaders, the heads of the clans, to assemble. When it gives a long blast, that's the signal to march. At the first blast the tribes who were camped on the east set out. At the second blast the camps on the south set out. The long blasts are the signals to march. The bugle call that gathers the assembly is different from the signal to march.

Contextual Overview
1And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, 2"Make two trumpets of silver for yourself; you make them of beaten work, and they have been for you for the convocation of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps; 3and they have blown with them, and all the congregation has assembled to you at the opening of the Tent of Meeting. 4And if they blow with one, then the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, have assembled to you;5and you have blown—a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed. 6And you have blown—a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; they blow a shout for their journeys. 7And in the assembling of the assembly you blow, and do not shout; 8and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been for a continuous statute to you throughout your generations. 9And when you go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then you have shouted with the trumpets, and you have been remembered before your God YHWH, and you have been saved from your enemies. 10And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in the beginnings of your months, you have also blown with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been for a memorial to you before your God; I [am] your God YHWH."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet],.... With only one of them, or but once, with one sounding, and that an even one as before:
then the princes, [which are] the heads of the thousands of Israel,
shall gather themselves unto thee: and they only or alone, as Aben Ezra: by this token, or by this difference of blowing both trumpets, or only one, it was, easily known when the whole congregation or when the princes only were to meet Moses at the same place, the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and all are to attend divine service, and the ministry of the word, even the whole church of God, and all the members of it, high and low, rich and poor, princes and people.
