i recommend 2 horns in this situation.the king 2341 for larger (usually 8th grade and up)kids and the conn 12j or its 4 valve brother for the smaller kids. both are very solidly built(think 20-25 years of hard labor),both have large bells(19" and 18" respecitvely),and at least one local music store in your area will be a dealer and have a service dept.
