A band is not a democratic entity. Your director may have a not-so-obvious reasons for mandating your choice. Remember that he's a teacher first and a band director second.
If you're all using school horns, he may want to keep it that way to avoid "horn envy" by the less-affluent members of your section. Or he may prefer the sound of an all-Yammie section.
You're not going to win this one, but you may want to ask him privately about his choice. His explanation may surprise you.
