Speak for yourself
Also, a smart drill writer would make sure that the trumpet player is standing still, or that the band/corps is standing still. Of course it really depends on the musical context, so yeah, whatever. Anyway, high Es are perfectly playable on the move, if the trumpet player has the note and he isn't a crappy marcher, he should be able to play whatever he can standing still on the move
But what do I know, I was only in a top 12 drum corps for 2 years....
