Hi. Your arrangement has a lot of great parts. Be careful to make sure that you are harmonizing the melody with the chord that you want to have and that you are using the best voicing for that chord. For example, in the last two measures, you have a I7 -> I progression with the flat seventh in the bass voice. Generally, roots and 5ths of chords sound the best in the bass. Also a V -> I chord progression might sound better there. Alternatively, if you want to keep the E melody note in trumpet 1, you could use a IV -> I or IV7 -> I. Hope this helps.
