I don't know about y'all, but ever since I got my new Yani, I've been brushing my teeth before I play, so I don't get my sax all gunked-up with food and stuff. I won't do this when I go back to school, of course, but I'll try to at least drink a glass of water or two before I play. Does anyone else here do this?

Yep. Every chance I get, I brush my teeth before playing. However, once school starts again, I don't think I'd do that, unless I happened to have band in the morning. I wouldn't bring a toothbrush to school either, because that's just weird. Also, at the camp I go to, you're playing 5 times a day for an hour at a time, so I don't have time to brush up every time I pick up my horn. The best thing I can do is to take a big gulp of water, and/or carry toothpicks around. Cool
