Hans raises valid concerns, but you, your son, and the director have
the resposibility to make this enjoyable for everyone involved. I
performed that movement, with piano, in the eighth grade, and did the
whole concerto with Fiedler and the Pops in 1969, with many of the
original audience in attendance.
As simple as that movement is to play, there are some difficult
counting problems that might become problems for a nervous performer,
so use a MMO recording to get used to having the accompaniment. Also, I
strongly suggest limiting the accompaniment to only include players who
can play it easily. Certainly no more than one on a part. If you follow
this guideline, it will make the performance a great learning
experience, teaching an element of showmanship to these students
willing to participate fully. My experience with talented young
performers is the higher you let them raise the standards, the higher
they push them.

As long as these arrangements are played to entertain
(mainly) hornplayers, I would have no objections, but in a
serious concert or serious school event ??????
The Saint Saens could be published by Kalmus perhaps.

There's also an arrangment of the Saint Saens Romance in F
for horn and band. I can't remember any other details but I
could find out if you wish.
Slightly changing the subject - DbEdition have recently
published a whole set of music for horn ensemble including
my (light hearted) arrangement of the Mozart Rondo K.495.
(Hans, I know you won't approve, but it's a fun piece and
audience's like it)
If they are not available near you, they are certanly
available from Paxman's
All the best,
Lawrence.
