Why on earth would you assume that?  You need a tuba and a banjo 
first--then select a couple of horns: I'd go with a high (clarinet, 
or, better still, a soprano) and a low--i.e, a trombone.  The soprano 
can sub for trumpet anytime.   O dump the clarinet and go with a 
trumpet as the high voice.   But the banjo/tuba is your base.  Don't 
blow it!
