No you don't. The slide Trombone is a brass instrument and it can be played without using the fingers. At least, you do not have to use the fingers in order to articulate individual notes. All you need is to be able to move the slide forward and back swiftly and accurately. There are valve trombones; the fingers are needed to play them.
