It depends on your band's strengths and weaknesses. If you have an outstanding trumpet section, feature them on the first or 2nd strain the first time through and then have everyone play second time. If your clarinets and/or baritones are super, have them play quietly the first time through the trio and then tutti second time. If you have a few very good woodwind players, feature them on the finger wigglin part the first time through the trio, etc. Customize your march to feature your best things and hide your problem section.
