Certainly, but didn't the drum-and-bugle-corps crowd just this year decide that they were going to march with regular band instruments instead of bugles?
...maybe I am assuming too much by reading your question. The answer, again, is "yes", but you would need to pull the #1 and #2 slides out about as far as they could be pulled to be in the correct spots for tuning purposes.
