Whilst in theory a band should tune to it's nominal pitch, whether that be 440 or 442, and maintain that pitch throughout their performance, in practice most amateur wind bands have a tendency to play sharper as they warm up.

So your band may start at 440 but end up higher.
So in all like probability do you also.

So if your band is nominally 440 and you find that your pitch currently matches theirs OK then stick with 440. If you feel that you are always pushing up to pitch the choose 442 (or a shorter barrel).
