We have just one trumpet player. We used to have two trumpets and a trombone player.

Mos churches seem to have one  or no horn players

Two trumpets one alto sax and a trombone in my experience is your most versatile section. It can cover pretty much any type sound you are trying to duplicate.

I would love to have one trumpet, one alto sax, one tenor sax, and one trombone.  I would LOVE that.  I've been scoring horn parts in Sibelius and I have no one to play them!

I am not a horn section fan, since my MOM doesn't write any parts. I prefer to be the only one, on sax. We have horn players and everyone is trying to improvise on their own. I am the most seasoned player and I don't have time to train and write parts.
