Happy to announce I have completed the Shostakovich Fugue! Starting next time I see my horn instructor, we will begin sight-reading the parts to find errors and make adjustments before my friends and I play/record it for the class. My next step is to begin proofing it with my project assistant so my instructor doesn't have to do all the work in our next lesson, and to select a new piece to work on (preferably one with only four voices like this one). I also need to figure out how to print this off of Muse Score as it keeps adding a billion extra lines of rest even after I placed a double bar line at the end...

Possibly getting two more french horns to sight read the piece with you at your next lesson would be the best case scenario for you. If you could hear how it sounds with horns actually playing it, as opposed to a computer playing it, you could hear where the hardest spots are for tuning. This could help you get a jump on your preparation for the performance of this piece.
