Pop/Rock trumpet sound

Hi, I thought since you have had the experience playing on rock and pop albums that you might be the one to ask this question to.

I'm getting a ska band put together (if you don't know what that is, it's basically a rock band with a trumpet, trombone, and saxaphone). All of my playing up this this point has mostly been in a concert band, orchestra, or marching, and I've always worked to develop a nice, warm, dark, richer sound. However the ska style is a lot brighter and sharper (not as in pitch, but in style if that make any sence). Almost like a lead player in a big band but a bit... i don't know, differant...

I guess my question is, what do I need to do to get a brighter, rock style sound? Is it an emboucer change? Airflow change?

If you don't understand what kind of sound I'm looking for, I post some clips of bands like Reel Big Fish, or the Mighty Mighty Bosstones if you need.

Thanks,
David
