nope! We got valve oil, and the various snakes and such to clean it (which I should do more often) and that's it... our school wasn't particularly well funded *heh* ... we used to have a tech for the trumpet section. Oh, man, he was awesome! I forget the name of the song, but it's meant to sound like three trumpets playing, instead of one, and he just sounded awesome on it! 3nodding heart Too bad he couldn't stick around. sad

About what temperture the water should be and yadda yadda. Alas I was going to clean it, since my trumpet does need to be cleaned but i couldn't find my cleaning kit! gonk so this requires me to buy a new one- along with some new spit corks . . . i have to do that . . . sweatdrop

Let's see... the director plays everything, though I forget what he marched (a long long long time ago)... then he has 3 techs/instructors... one for percussion, one for brass, and one for woodwinds. The Guard is sort of left to their own devices with Mrs. Jones (not the best instructor they've ever had, and pretty useless most of the time)

The Guard is sort of left to their own devices with Mrs. Jones (not the best instructor they've ever had, and pretty useless most of the time) we have three directors -a main one who back in the day was a percussionists but he's really god with wind instruments -an assitant who is basically also works with percussion -another assitant who i don't know what she does besides being a**l but she does play french horn. we have a guard instrutor who's straight as a rainbow a dance team teacher plus her assitant this guy that runs our drill and who i hate like hell called Mr. Swartz. stare he will die one of these days

Oofa... I think the best thing anyone's ever said, that I know of is between these two:
"Can't we all just make love?" (when two people were arguing during band class)
"I'm Not Straight!!!" (stood up and screamed in on the band bus, b/c someone chose to nickname him 'straight')

About teh slide grease thing:
My original trumpet came with valve oil.
Teh Yamaha had valve oil, a mouthpiece brush, and a cleaning cloth!
I've never had to use slide grease. Ever.

Masquanade even after you clean you horn? Clean? <.< >.> Um, I had it cleaned once, but I sent it into the Music & Arts Center, and got it back three days later. I don't know what they did to it.

I don't know what they did to it. Shame, shame I know your name! Ha ha ha. Don't worry I'm guilty as charged with not cleaning my horn. It'll be a year since it was last cleaned in December. eek sweatdrop But HEY! I was GOING to clean to it but I lost all my cleaning stuff. I did take mine to Mississippi Music one year and they DENIED to clean it- saying it wasn't dirty! eek It was to! THEY LIE! But now I'm lazy and my trumpet is in need of a serious spit cork change. sweatdrop
