In 2002, their original guitarist, Greg Sullivan, decided to leave the band citing "creative differences". He was replaced by Chris Turner. Though initially announcing the band would be releasing a third album, once again enlisting the help of producer Howard Benson, this album never saw release. Reveille did one tour with Sevendust before breaking up in 2003. Their final show was the "3rd Annual Hometown Throwdown" at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 28, 2002 where they performed two live new songs titled "Your Life" & "Nothing No One" that was originally supposed to be for their third album.

Reveille Reborn

On October 20, 2008 it was announced that Reveille would be reuniting for one night in Worcester, Massachusetts for a show dubbed "Reveille Reborn". Asked about Reveille's reunion in an interview with the Worcester Telegram from December 2008, Simollardes replied:

The biggest reward will be seeing the fans again. We aren’t promoting a new album or a new tour, so this isn’t about making money or furthering our future as a band. When we broke up, we simply vanished without a trace. This is our chance to pay homage to the couple hundred thousand people who bought our records and believed in what we did. The show itself will be the reward for us … experiencing that personal interaction with our fans.

The concert took place December 26, 2008 with opening bands Nullset, Debris, CrowneVict and Breathe. The venue was sold out with over 2000 people in attendance. Future plans for Reveille are unknown at this point.
