I have been playing 5 years, 1st chair in a class A band. I have received a division 1 rating every year so far at Solo and Ensemble.
Here are the two trumpets that I was looking at:
Holton ST550 MF Admiral series
Jupiter 1002S
Personal preference would be a first valve thumb saddle and third key ring (preferably non-fixed, but not as important).
I know Bach Strads are the best, but they are too expensive for me at the moment. Please keep any suggestions within $859 (Price of the Jupiter) and around $1200.
