I wanted to thank everybody for the help. I had it all mixed up.

The shortInstrumentName must come before the \trumpet part, etc. otherwise it
won't work. 

I forgot to group with curly braces as well. This worked like a charm though:

\book {
        \score {
        <<
                \new StaffGroup = "horns" 
                <<
                        \new Staff = "trumpet" \transpose c c {
                                \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Tpt "
                                \trumpet 
                        }
                        \new Staff = "clarinet" \transpose c c  {
                                \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Clr "
                                \clarinet
                        }
 ...
