My HS band has been using King 2350s for the past 12 years. As I'm a senior, I've spent the last four years using them. Good horns, pretty durable, and have a decent amount of punch in them (not as much as a 20K, but it's good for both weak and strong players). They don't weigh as much as a 20K but that could be a plus when doing long parades. You have to be a little careful about the sound breaking though if you have some really strong players that lack control. Other than that, the King 2350 is a very good choice. Ours have silver plated bells and satin silver finishes on the body.
Hope this helps.
