Not fighting words on a brass band list.

Really? Heroic is a style. I can play "Heroic" on the trumpet or the
cornet.
I have heard "Heroic" on tenor horn as well as I have heard it on French
Horn.
I've also heard it on trombone.

I can imagine Mahler on bagpipes but it would be out of place just 
as French Horns are out of place in a Brass Band AND I might add
those who use Eb trumpet or piccolo trumpet in a brass band.
Talk about fingernails on the blackboard of life.
Really! If you cant cut the Soprano parts on Soprano leave it to someone
who can.
