Looks rather impossible to me but I'm not sure, so I thought I'd ask.
It would be nice to have this run in this register (the piccolo is already busy), but if not, I'll transpose it one octave down.

Question From a Composer: Can This Be Played?
Can this run played by a full-time professional orchestral player? Tempo is 105.

For a pro? Sure! No problem. Send it my way! For a high school student... don't count on it.
