brass sections
Trumpets and trombones
Brass sections are the parts of an orchestra, band, or ensemble comprising brass instruments—trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, and related instruments.
The term also refers to passages in musical compositions featuring these instruments prominently: The brass section comes in at the climax.
In jazz and pop, horn sections often combine brass with saxophones.
