Mike,
 
     Perhaps the most listened to piece of orchestral playing  and magnificent trumpet playing  was from the original Star Wars soundtrack with the London Symphony Orchestra when Howard Snell was playing principal trumpet.  Who were the other guys in the section?
 
  Wow,  that was 30 years ago.  That dates a lot of us doesn't it?  Too bad Howard doesnt get royalties every time the tune is played.

PS  If our European friends will bring us up to speed on who the trumpet sections are in the FOUR symphony orchestras in London alone and others such as Academy where St(eve)Martin plows the fields, and orchestras in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, the 700 German orchestras, Czech Republic, Poland, etc.......................
