Yes there is but consider useing two trombones in a quintet. Then youcan
also do works that feature 2 trombones and two trumpets. You can also turn a
such a quartet arrangement(the Drummond Wolf arrangements for quartet and
organ are easily adaptable) into a quintet arangement by witing out the 1st
rombone part for horn.And doubling the 2nd trombone at a lower octave on the
tuba or bass trombone. The octave doubling part can be left out in section
marked mf or p .Thus an arrangement for 2 trom 2trpts can be used by quintet
or a quartet that uses horn and trombone. Check the King catalogue,
