Oh no, don't tell him to stop the sit-ups; he doesn't need to know what you know, and you're having too much fun!

If that video really was in the late 90s, Justo Almario must have lost weight and dyed his hair. He looked good.

I didn't mean to discourage you at all! It's one thing to play the articulation, and quite another to get way up high and do it there. My guess is that your trumpet part is written an octave down from what you hear by the guy playing screamer trumpet. It's hard to hear, but the other trumpet is probably doubling by playing it as written. Take out the few screamer parts and I could handle that part just fine, although it would still be a small challenge to hit the high Es early in the morning. Just to be sure, can you show me the trumpet part? Scan it to a PDF?
