@@joshford-king105 unfortunately due to copyright I’m unable to sell the suite. If Hal Leonard ever changes that I’ll upload it to sheet music plus. Right now I believe they only allow the fifth movement to be sold even though they have the copyright for the whole suite.
I'm not too familiar with the big band difficulty grading system but due to the trumpet range this is considered challenging for professionals. There would be ways of making it easier by putting some lines down the octave
Absolutely AAA honor band stuff here. This is university at the least. You ain't getting high school players in the second trumpet chair playing high G -- IF you can even get the lead to do it. For crap's sake, the 2nd trumpet has a unison high A... we're talking the screamer A... with the lead trumpet -- AT THE END of this long ass tune... you know... when your chops are spent. Sure, taking it down an octave is something to consider, but this chart is super difficult due to the meter and rhythmic complexity, with a true bass trombone required unless you rewrite that stuff as well. And you need a bari who is proficient on flute... or you'll be having the bari switch to tenor or alto if you need your top sax player playing those parts... which would make transitions back and forth awkward. Suffice to say... this is a beast of a tune. I was having a hard time finding the metric center in several spots and really locking in on it.
