So you're not doing the slightly confusing 3 trumpets and 2 cornets or really confusing 2 trumpets and 3 cornets thing? As a trumpet player, I hate when I have to read music that includes that instrumentation!

Cornet?! Yeah, that's crazy talk. I'm really looking forward to telling you more about the trumpet parts... stay tuned.
