Please tell me the "top" trumpet is going to be played on picc. If that wasn't your intention, you better make it so. The "bottom" part is fine. Technically it's all fine though.
You have a good control over the common practice language that I don't normally see on this board, and you actually take it to interesting places as opposed to just saying, "OH MY GOD I'M IN G MAJOR" *pedal G major for 90 bars then one bar of D7*.
All that aside, why write a completely baroque style piece, we are not in 17th century Europe, and I believe I don't wear pantaloons on a consistent basis, or a powdered wig. There are ways to meld the languages and styles of the past AND the present, discovering that will take your music into a fresh and much more interesting direction. Also for the record, as a trumpet player, we have enough "baroque trumpet concertos/suites" to last a lifetime -.- The instrument needs new and better music, the Classicists and Romantics and the *good* 20th century composers really did skip over the brass family quite a bit.
