@duckinacup1 here’s a playing tip and an oil tip: for playing, thought it might seem obvious, DONT CLOSE YOUR TEETH!!! My first band director always had us remember that by saying “if you don’t keep a golf ball sized space in your jaw, you will explode and die” so there’s that Valve oil tip: we can be screwed together 👍
@ alr thanks i did that at practice today i will think of that next week when i have practice (i have a delay for the rest of the week and we have practice in the morning)
He is actually better off using vegetable oil because blue juice is a petroleum based oil, and will corrode the plastic trumpet. It’s recommended that you use synthetic oils for plastic trumpets.
I'm a flute player but my friend plays baritone and I was putting valve oil in it because a key was sticking (yes I know how to do it) and it got on my shirt it is still stained to this day
When I was a fifth grader starting band there was a day that my trumpet valves would only stick if I was playing it and it took a ton of investigation but we found some dried oil at the bottom of the valve and it fixed the problem once it got cleaned up so 🤷♂️
"Are we playing today or are we just going to deal with the brass's nonsense" are the truest words I've heard. And I'm a percussionist.
Grade 8 trumpet, getting valve oil on your clothes absolutely destroys them. I did that once in grade 6 AND MY JEANS ARE STILL STAINED
lol i started trumpet in august last year and it happened to me 😭 got any tips/tricks for it im decent 👍

I loved playing mechanical monsters I still have the original from fifth grade 😂
You played mechanical monsters in 5th grade? Nice. Our 7th grade concert band played that this last year.
As a 15 year veteran of teaching music in public schools: I can confirm EVERY scenario in this video. Well done sir.

Dude mechanical monsters! I remember playing that in like 6th grade
As a sax player I just like to sit back and let the chaos around me unfold
as a bass player I do the same thing 😭
OMG MECHANICAL MONSTERS I played that back in 6th grade 😢

Omg the first time I watched I heard “Mark, we’ve done this sexually like three times” and I was 🤯
Especially if you a percussionist and you're not playing anything in that section.
@Commanderthebarbarian nah I play horn
Day, four of asking him to play mechanical monsters on saxophone
It kind of makes sense that you should be able to use WD-40
Ngl that’s just what I do every week.

OMG THE WIG 😂😂😂
