In music, a horn section is a group of musicians playing wind instruments. In a symphony orchestra it is the musicians that play the horn (also known as the French horn). In a British-style brass band it is the tenor horn players. In popular music, it is a small group of wind instrumentalists who augment a band. The composition of these groups can vary, and they are used with bands of a variety of genres.

Famous quotes containing the words horn and/or section:
“He who goes oftenest round Cape Horn goes the most circumspectly.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don’t pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother that “nice girls don’t.” He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue—but only in a certain section of society.”
—Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
