[TPIN] West Side Story

[Steve B]

Then again, I played this show somewhere in the early 80's and the 2nd trumpet part did have a section marked for Trumpet in D at the time.  I vaguely remember it being 8va over the 1st part.  but My memory is even foggier now.

Thanks,
Steve

ps. now Wilmer can set us all straight.  ;-)
