You're right. As the article you cited points out, the trombone made its "symphonic debut" in Beethoven's 5th.

Somehow I thought Beethoven's 5th had something to do with trombones or the absence thereof--I guess I should have flipped to the Finale in my "Norton Scores" book instead of Mvt. 1. Then I would have gotten it straight. Oh well, so much for trying to look things up.

Even in the 5th Symphony, though, the trombones have to sit out for 3 out of the 4 movements, which is something not likely to happen in a band setting, but not all that uncommon a thing to see in orchestral brass parts of a certain vintage.

What I remember learning was that trombones are actually a very ancient instrument, but that they were primarily used in the church and were not commonplace in orchestras until sometime during the 19th century.
