Second point, see if you can find a Lenny Neihaus chart called "Home Cookin'". Lenny's charts always lay really well, and are technically challenging without always being "off the horn" for decent HS bands.

email me if you can't find this tune.
My experience always proved the Buddy Rich lead trumpet book to be a lesson in conservation (and humility!). Get too animal with it and you bury yourself!
