Which trumpet for marching band?

[plp]

Of all the stuff I've collected over the years, I'd have to say an Olds Ambassador would be my personal first choice. I think it projects well, and will withstand the slings and arrows of getting beat and banged around.

I've seen some nice horns get trashed in the bleachers.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, used one cornet for everything. I used a 10 1/2C mouthpiece for marching band, and a 5A for symphonic band.
