I played this in my HS symphony. One of my favorite trumpet jams. We did the theme from Rocky too. My other to favorites were the The from Rocky, and Hawaii 5-0. Both made for trumpet.
We were gonna play this for Regional band but our director cut it. This was one of the bands favorite piece. He spent barely anytime on it which was really annoying. It was measure 111-133 he spent no time on. It was a disappointment but it was a fun time.
