Most brass instruments, like the trombone and trumpet, are used in orchestras (think The Imperial March from Star Wars). They are very influential in orchestra music and are used when majestic sounding or scary loud parts are needed. The brass instruments are not often used in chamber orchestra, as they are too LOUD!
Trumpets are also used in popular music, particularly jazz, where they will often fill in with a few rhymic chords at the end of a line while the singer takes a breath (a good example is 'Let's Face the Music' by Nat King Cole - the trumpets sound a bit funny because they are muted - they have a hollow lump of metal inside the bell, where the sound comes out).
Also, in the UK an old tradition that is dying out is one for Brass Bands. These are formed of brass instruments and percussion. The film Brassed Off is about a Brass Band, and the most famous piece of Brass Band music is probably the Floral Dance.
Brass instruments are used in almost all kinds of music. There have been brass instruments in rock groups, are used in all types of jazz and all types of classical pieces.
If you are looking for some great brass players try Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbards for a start, and those are just the trumpets! There are many classical movements and composers who've used brass, you've just got to listen for the special timbre of the instrument.
