HERE'S WHAT I DO. I HAVE THE SAME SITUATION AS YOU. I USE A DEG MARCHING TENOR TROMBONE TO PLAYBTHE TROMBONE PARTS. SOUNDS FUNNY BUT IT WORKS WELL FOR ME. THE HORN I USE HAS A SWEET SOUND. IT PLAYS IN TUNE EXCEPT FOR THE LOW C WHICH IS SHARP. I JUST MOVE THE SLIDE OUT FOR LONG TONES AND LIP IT IN TUNE. I USE IT AT CHURCH FOR OUR CONTEMPORARY PRAISE BAND AS WELL. I LIKE THIS HORN BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO LUG AROUND WITH MY TUBA AND MOST PEOPLE THINK IT IS A BIG TRUMPET. I AM CONSIDERING ADDING A MARCHING BARITONE TO MY HORNS TO HELP WITH THE SECOND TROMBONE PARTS. I REALLY LIKE THE TENOR TROMBONE FOR THE FIRST PARTS. THESE ARE PRICES REASONABLY AT WWBW. IF YOU GET ONE YOU WILL GET LOTS OF INTERESTING COMMENTS.
