It depends how many people you have to play the Saxophone. There are usually only parts for 2 altos, 1 tenor, and 1 baritone. If you have a lot of saxophonists you can get away with having up to about 7 altos, 3 tenors, and 2 bari's. It really all depends how many you want.

If you're talking about a jazz band. There is usually a lead woodwind (sax 1), Alto Saxophone 2, tenor 1 and 2, and only one baritone. Again, it depends how many saxophones you have. Just not too many bari's!
