I played the trumpet long long ago (and quite possibly in a galaxy far far away) but as of late have been playing baritone and trombone, and likewise my google-foo is rather pitiful

<---- Saxophone player here (alto, tenor, and soprano). I am pleased, yet not suprised at the presence of other band geeks on these forums. Sheet music is a pain in the butt to find on the internet, trust me; i've tried looking for sax stuff on many occasions. If you do find what you're looking for, I commend you. However, I would probably reccommend raiding your band director's stand tune cabinet for Hawaii Five-O. Marching bands tend to play things like that for stand tunes. Alternatively, you can check your local music store for sheet music. You could probably find the Hawaii Five-O theme in a book with other TV show themes.
I have very odd hearing in my right ear because of this. Or well my expirements with piccolo.

*cries*
I play clarinet, alto saxophone, and flute. I won't start on the trumpet jokes the flutes in my school make. But still, like everyone else says, it's really hard to find sheet music online. Your trumpet teacher (if you take lessons) or your band director is probably the best resource for finding music for you.

Trust me Blackfox, the trumpeters are laughing just as hard at the flute players. *I know I was (still am).
Interesting however that in my experience (fairly broad) that trumpeter & flutists always seem to end up dating. *Perhaps it's the witty banter that borders so closely on sexual tension.
Or maybe its me.
And for the record, I've never met more inscestous groups than musicians and thespains. Both groups are simply horny. ;)

French Horn player here. (mellophone in marching band)
Elementary school band said pick an instrument, so I picked the most interesting looking one. Even made it through 2 years in college until my class schedules couldn't accomidate it anymore. Stupid quarter->semester conversion.
Then I was seduced to the dark side, by which I mean chorus. Trumpet lungs + Naturally loud voice meant I was able to drown out a 100-person choir by myself one time...
I played the trumpet in high school -- the darn thing is rusting in the basement right now. I haven't touched the thing in years, though, which is kind of a shame.
I think we played Hawaii 5-0 in pep band, but I'm pretty sure I turned in my sheet music the year I graduated. :(

In my school, the Jazz band wasn't made of band geeks. We were a competition band, only finished worse than first in a local competition once and that was a second place finish while I was there, and also did private gigs on the side as an independant group. Thus when the school administration said a couple seniors who skipped school couldn't play at a gig that was a school sposored event, we showed up any way. Yeah, we all got a mouthfull from the assistant principal the next day.
And an icky mellophone player. I HATE mellophone! It's a mix between the two, and yet it's so different and awkward.
Blech.
Yeah - I don't play mellophone. I play trumpet in the marching band and the jazz band (first chair! WooT), and french horn (also first chair! WooT again!) in symphonic. I don't play in an orchestra because all stringed instruments give me a headache - and when there are 300 of them it's ridiculous (but when there are only two, like in Jazz, I'm mostly fine).
Interesting however that in my experience (fairly broad) that trumpeter & flutists always seem to end up dating. Perhaps it's the witty banter that borders so closely on sexual tension.
Funny how that works, huh? That's... *counts on fingers* at least 5 couples at my school...
