<<Your post brings about an interesting topic. While playing through American Civil War Fantasy, I had to play a bar going all the way up to the high G on

In orchestral music, yes. You see it all the time.

In band music, no; as the composers/arrangers know that they might be dealing with less experienced players there that might not be able to handle that register.
