Where in the tune is this note going to be played? Is it a power ending note (the root and it is held till your director cuts off the band) or just in a passage of the song? In either event you could do a few things; 1) check with your director/piano player and the other trumpets and possibly re-arrange the end note (a strong C/5th instead of a wimpy F would be a lot better) or even try a minor 7/Eb with the alto pasting a high F (in Bb terms). This depends of course on the chordal structure and style of the song. You can also gliss the note to F and come back down to C....In a passage just ghost it or replace with a C/Eb or Bb... |
I actually know that the 2cd trumpet part is playing a C(that she can only play 1/2 of the time) while I'm playing the F and the third is playing the F an octave lower(there's a 4th and 5th part but I haven't looked at them yet).
I might have to ask about that because this is the last song we're playing and while I have only one other song that I'm playing lead on(the first one) and the other two don't go above the staff(though I have a solo in the second one). I'm imagining I'll be alittle worn out by the end. I do have a really strong C, so I'll consider that.

Just so you all know I did volunteer for the part. Nevermind that no one in there right mind should take something like this on. Thank you everyone for their suggestions!
