I think the real problem here may rest with your trumpet player more than your notation.

I say that because if a more experienced trumpet player were in your band and you gave the description you gave here in your post, it should have been very clear what was wanted. And the experienced player might have taken their pencil, jotted in a few accents on the sheet as a memory jog -- and then nailed the notes as requested.

Experienced players don't show up to my rehearsals without a pencil.

Not if they want to show up at the *next* rehearsal anyway...
