Traditional bands have a rhythm section (composed of drums, bass, piano, and possibly guitar), a trumpet section, a trombone section, and a saxophone section.
When the whole band is playing tutti (in unison), the lead trumpet player is considered the lead player of the band and is followed in phrasing, etc., by the rest of the band.

 How to Hire a DJ for your Wedding
You can find DJs from a variety of sources, friends, family, the internet, print ads, from other vendors, etc. A common mistake by most people is that they tend to believe that all DJs are pretty much the same, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
On average most brides spend about 5% on a DJ, but numerous articles in bridal magazines and the internet stated that most brides said that if they could do it all over again they would have spent probably 10%-15% of their wedding budget on a better DJ.
Make sure that the DJ has references, is willing to meet with you, see the venue, has quality equipment, and probably most important, has a written contract.
