[TPIN] Suggestons for high school trumpet players

[Tualatin Valley Brass]

First time middle school students usually rent from a music store. They usually use those horns throughout middle school, but then what? When is the best time to buy a better trumpet? If they want to take lessons I usually don't make an issue of their horn unless I can see that it's holding them back. Ideas? Thoughts? Comments? Brands to suggest? Avoid?
