"Phoenix Rising" by Thea Musgrave I think has this.  I happened to see
the US premier in Boston back in 1999.  I recall that the principal
horn starts by playing off-stage and continues playing while walking
on stage.  Upon arriving at the horn section and playing some more, I
think the rest of the section stands up and plays that way for a
while.  It's a very exciting piece that's worth seeking out.
