Would strongly suggest going no larger than a .525 horn; the big
orchestral .547s and .550s will rarely cut through the texture enough
for march and wind-band literature without exhausting you, if you've
been playing small-bore for so many years.  Every maker has a .525 in
the catalog - most of them are listed here:
