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.
