Agree with previous comment about the strange beginning. I would keep the strange beginning, but maybe make it tie into the rest of the piece more.

Also, you probably know, but the music requires a lot of virtuosi musicians. Some of that trumpet stuff is incredibly hard. Also, I'm pretty sure some of the drum stuff is technically impossible.

It's a great tune, albeit quite hard to play.

Oh, one more thing--I thought the end was kind of just there. It didn't seem to really say that it was the ending. Either add dynamics or rewrite.
