Being A&M alumni, most of us have never heard what a great, let alone decent, trumpet section sounds like

For your edification - the 2017 Blue Devils trumpets. Headphones preferred.

Too bad you didn't provide an example of what you say we are lacking.

A good trumpet section typically doesn't do most of their performances outside.
Google (or youtube) trumpet ensemble and you can find many great examples of good, even great, trumpet sections. Probably the same if you switch "trumpet" for "brass".

Here's one after a hasty search:

One rock ban + 4 screamin' trumpets = awesome. Skip to the 3:00 minute mark if you must.

Louder and higher (though impressive) =/= "Greater"

The two blaring squeaky ensembles aren't in the same zip code as the technical demonstration from the Army ensemble.

This is my favorite trumpet ensemble performance. OSU absolutely nailed this.

Oil and sweat tarnish the instrument shine. So in an outdoor setting where it's hot and you are sweating gloves slow the player to not worry about having to polish it later.
