Membership: Slide by Slide members include many of the most talented and dedicated trombonists in metro Atlanta, coupled with a first class rhythm section. Atlanta-area trombonists looking for a great time are always welcome to hang out with us!
Origins: We began as an outlet for the Atlanta Wind Symphony's (AWS) trombone section. The average trombonist has a seemingly insatiable appetite for playing, so the section decided to continue rehearsing during the AWS summer break in 1997 - and never stopped!
Conductor: As we continued to rehearse and play more difficult music, and started getting requests for appearances, it came time to recruit a conductor. This position was filled by Dr. Vince Mull, associate conductor of the AWS.

Debut: With an invitation to play on an AWS concert, Slide by Slide was born. The group now performs year-round at various venues, including area churches, malls, community festivals, seasonal events, and even private parties
Trombone! The concept of a trombone ensemble may seem unusual to some, yet our audiences are always impressed with the wide-ranging repertoire, and the powerful yet mellow blend of sound uniquely characteristic of trombone ensemble.
