The Verne Reynolds arr. is the one I've seen most often ("Centone" as mentioned by Chuck), and various arrangements of this work don't vary much in overall effect.
A word of advice: If your trumpet players are not AAAAA level (such as Principal & Second Trumpet in your local full-time or almost-full-time orchestra) this piece may not reflect well on your quintet (for referrals, etc.). Just one "frack" by one of the two "battling" trumpets will be remembered by everyone, rather than the rest of the brilliant playing in this piece.
