I know that most people would not agree with learning how to scream for marching band because the trombone is a part of the "foundation" of most marching tunes, but I still want to learn for personal satisfaction. Is there anyone that can give pointers on or help teach how to scream on a tenor trombone?

Um... because it`s fun? Honestly why can`t we ever do something simply because it`s fun. Who cares if the trumpets do it better. As long as it isn`t taken too seriously who cares?

Would I actually be able to use it in a marching band setting?

See thats interesting, saxes aren`t supposed to scream either, but they do. Just because trumpets can do it easier than us doesn`t mean we shouldn`t try. So who cares if they sound better. I don`t understand why everybody is against playing high. I mean, face it it`s almost as fun as playin loud!

A Jet-Tone will help, sure, but everything else will suffer.
Here is my 2 cents. Don`t worry about playing high, worry about playing WELL. High notes will come over time if you practice properly. I used to fall into the trap of "small mouthpiece is better because you can play higher", but it really is not true. I now use a rather large mouthpiece, a Warburton 5G, and my range is the same with that as it was when I got my Jet-Tone, but it also sounds good.
That is what we should be after, sounding good, not playing as high as we can.

Well, contrary to what the other people are saying, i also love to scream on the bone. The best thing to do at home are full range lip slurs. Example: start on low b flat, then go to shelves up, one down, two up, etc. Another awesome exercise is to start on F in the staff, and at a slow tempo play up one note in the b flat scale, then back down. Without removing your lips from the mouthpiece, breathe in from your nose, then play the next note, go up a scale step, then go back down. Repeat this pattern until you can`t play any higher because your lips are shot. Freebuzzing also helps strengthen your muscles. I have plenty of other excercises, e-mail me if you want. Just remember, you can always play higher!
Good Luck!

or listen to the bone solo from Chicago`s "Beginnings"
james pankow comes out on a beautiful high C# and on his second solo, wails on a high E, if i remember correctly.
i assume that when you say "scream" you mean play high notes with that really agressive tone?
all i`ll say is, it requires a strong embouchure, but even more importantly, masterful air management, and proper focus of the airstream. and of course a really good sense of pitch.. (if you can`t hear the note, you can`t play it).
a wise man once said to me...
"if you want steinmeyer range, you don`t need steinmeyer`s chops... you need his brain!!" the longer i play , the more i believe this to be true.
if you work on proper technique, range will come. here`s a killer article to help you...
