I´m about to do a recording with a brassband in my home studio. My
problem is to prevent distortion of my A/D interface because of the
wide dynamic range of the horns.


This is not difficult. Do a run-through, set your mic preamps so that
the level never gets higher than -10 dBFS, and start recording.
Preserve the wide dynamic range of the horns. That's part of being a
horn.

If you feel that you need to compress in order to get a good mix, do
it when you're mixing.
