Bolero is a tiresome piece to play, and also tiring! A good trick is to do a deal with the 2nd or 4th horn as applicable, and swap octaves every repetition of the tune when you get into the repeated D's (tutti) sections. This is a good way to save the chops. (and also lets the low horn players know how easy their jobs really are!!!).
