I was in the 84th Army band in Germany in the 70s and a major part of our duty was marching. Long parades and heavy trumpets do not necessarily fit together, so if one horn it has to be AND my preference: Monette XLT, Eclipse lightweight, Yamaha Xeno(can cut glass if you need to...) in that order. You would need to wait a year for the Monette though. I don't know the leadtime on Eclipse.
