brass section
Loud metallic ensemble
The brass section is the part of an orchestra or band consisting of brass instruments—trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, and similar instruments where sound is produced by buzzing the lips into a metal mouthpiece.
In jazz and pop contexts, often shortened to horns or the horns: The brass section really shines in the finale.
