I read somewhere that the trombone should tune up in first position but will a little gap to allow for vibrato.

Unless a piano is way out of tune, a trombone can make the adjustment and be spot on, but that doesn't mean the rest of the band will be in tune. When that happens the piano player will set up his/her trusty electronic keyboard. We are in tune and thankful for the modern technology.
