I agree with Siegtrmpt - it is unreasonable to expect you to play continuosly on all stanzas of all hymns. Do yourself and every trumpet player who follows you a favor and educate that director. The trumpet is not a piano or an organ. Especially if there is an organ there, there is no reason to have you play everything - this just shows a lack of imagination on the director's part, and ignorance as to the physical demands placed on your musicians.
