It depends on several things. What type of orchestra? In a jazz orchestra, it's usually 4 but there are sometimes 5. In a symphony orchestra, on any given song it can be as few as 0 or 1 or 2, or as many as 10 or more. Some songs have no brass parts, some call for 1 or 2 trumpets, some call for 8 or 10. Symphony orchestra usually have 3 or 4 "regular" Trumpet players, and then they have alternates that they call when needed.
