Based off of my knowlege, it's also known as a "Frumpet" or a "marching horn." It's basically what French Horn players play in marching band, being that it's awfully hard to play Horn standing.

On the topic of picillos, I don't mind it. My best friend owns a picallo, even if she's not allowed to play it until she achives first chair in high school. We're still middle schoolers, and I happen to be first chair, it's sort of impossible at the moment.
at my school french horns march with their french horn, not with a mellophone
Well, they must be very skilled marchers, then. ^-^

Speaking of marching bands, our 9-12 high school (1400 students) has a marching band of over 200 people.

That's amazing. Ours spiked in numbers the year that they made a trip to Philidalphia to march in a parade on Thanksgiving, but it made a major drop afterward. People just like making big trips I guess. ^-^

I started piano at age four-ish, flute in fifth grade, and piccolo and trumpet last fall. People are always amazed at this, but..no. Seeing as picc is just a mini-flute and I suck at trumpet.
