A marching band of drummers and ONE TRUMPET player that hasn't played since elementary school. Man you have got guts. If you were in Germany around Frankfurt, I would give you free lessons (I do not regard internet lessons very highly)!
More seriously, that is a challenging piece that goes from low C to high G. Not something for beginner chops. How much time do you have to prepare?

There are several less expensive horns available from Yamaha, Getzen, B&S, King, Olds................ that will do the job. A pro horn like the Stradavarius need a skilled player to demonstrate the difference. A beginners horn is easier to play when you have NO CHOPS.

My advice to you is to get a real teacher. That way, your progress will be according to your ability, not on how lucky you get.
Have someone videotape this and put it on YouTube. You have sparked my interest!

For the rest of us: this is the stuff that real first trumpet players are made of - a total disregard for the odds. I think he will make it! Please support him any way that you can!
