Care of Your
Saxophone
This simple maintenance
routine will keep your
saxophone playing and
looking its best for many
years.
Before you play
Place the thin end of
your reed in your mouth
to moisten it while you
assemble the rest of the
saxophone.
If the cork on the neck
is dry, rub a small
amount of cork grease
on it.
Lift the body of your
saxophone out of the
case by the bell.
Hold the body of the
saxophone with your
left hand. Loosen the
neck screw, and remove
the end plug. Gently
twist the neck into the
body with your right
hand, taking care not to
bend the octave key.
Tighten the neck screw.
Twist the mouthpiece
(with the cap still on it)
gently onto the neck so
that it covers
approximately ½ of the
cork.
Remove the mouthpiece
cap and with the
ligature already around
the mouthpiece, slide
the thick end of the reed
under the ligature and
align the tip of the reed
with the tip of the
mouthpiece. Tighten
the ligature screws to
hold the reed firmly in
place.
Put the neck strap
around your neck and
attach the hook to the
ring on the back of the
saxophone. Adjust the
length of the strap so
you can comfortably put
the mouthpiece in your
mouth.
When you finish
playing
Disassemble your
saxophone in reverse
order above.
Use your swab to
remove moisture from
inside your saxophone’s
body and neck. Drop
the weighted end and
string down the bell and
turn the instrument
upside down so the
weight falls through the
body; pull the swab
through the body to
absorb the moisture.
(The tan leather pads
under each key seal the
air flow when you play;
moisture will cause the
pads to get stiff and leak
air, making your
saxophone harder to
play.)
Remove the reed from
your mouthpiece and
place it in your reed
holder. (Your reed
holder protects your
reed and keeps it from
warping.)
Use a lacquer polish
cloth to wipe the
fingerprints off your
saxophone. (Your
fingerprints contain acid
that will etch into your
saxophone's finish and
make it dull.)
Put your saxophone in
its case and fasten both
latches. (Most
saxophone damage
occurs when the
instrument is left out on
a bed or a chair, or on
the floor. If you'd like to
leave it out, use a
saxophone stand.)
Check for loose objects
in your case that could
bounce into your
saxophone, scratching
or denting it. Don't put
anything on top of your
saxophone in its case as
it would press on the
keys and bend them out
of adjustment.
Periodically
Clean your mouthpiece
with a mouthpiece
brush and warm water.
Clean the finish of your
saxophone thoroughly
with a saxophone polish
cloth. (The saxophone
polish cloth contains the
right amount of lacquer
polish to clean the
finish. Liquid polish is
not recommended
because it can get on
the pads and ruin them,
and brass polish should
never be used as it
removes a saxophone's
clear lacquer finish.)
Use a small key brush to
clean the dust and dirt
between the keys.
Wash out your swab or
replace it with a new
one.
Apply a small amount of
key oil to the pivot
points of your keys.
(Take care not to apply
too much key oil as it
will get on the pads as
well as drip into your
case. To apply the right
amount, put a drip of oil
on a piece of paper;
then dip a toothpick
into it and touch it to
the pivot points on your
saxophone.)

Care of Your Trumpet
This simple maintenance
routine will keep your
trumpet playing and looking
its best for many years.
Before
you play
Oil your
valves.
Unscrew the cap on the
1st valve, pull the piston
out half way, and put a
few drops of valve oil on
the wide part of the
piston. Lower the
piston back into place
and turn it until you
hear a click and the
piston won't turn
further; then screw the
cap back on. Follow the
same procedure with
the 2nd and 3rd valves.
(Take great care when
handling the pistons as
the slightest dent will
cause them to stick in
their casings.)
Place the mouthpiece
into the mouthpiece
receiver and gently twist
it in. (If your
mouthpiece becomes
stuck, don't use force or
tools to try to get it out
as your trumpet is made
of soft brass and can be
damaged easily. Amro,
and maybe your band
director, have a special
tool to get stuck
mouthpieces out quickly
and easily without
damaging your
trumpet.)
When you finish
playing
Hold each water key
open and blow the
moisture out of your
trumpet.
Remove the mouthpiece
and put it in its special
compartment in the
case (so it doesn't
bounce around in the
case and dent your
trumpet).
Wipe the fingerprints off
your trumpet with your
trumpet polish cloth.
(Fingerprints contain
acid that will cut
through your trumpet's
lacquer finish and allow
your trumpet to tarnish.
The special lacquer
polish cloth contains
just the right amount of
polish to keep your
trumpet's finish clean
and bright. Don't use
liquid brass polish as it
will remove the clear
lacquer finish.)
Put your trumpet in its
case and fasten the
latches. (Most trumpet
damage occurs when
the trumpet is left out
on a chair, a table, a bed,
or on the floor. If you'd
like to leave it out, use a
trumpet stand.)
Check for loose items in
your case that could
bounce into your
trumpet and dent or
scratch it.
Don't store anything
(music, towel, etc.) on
top of your trumpet in
its case as they would
push on the slides and
bend them.
Periodically
Clean your mouthpiece
with a mouthpiece
brush, dish soap, and
warm water.
Thoroughly clean your
trumpet's finish with
your trumpet polish
cloth. (Liquid polish is
not recommended as it
can remove your
trumpet's finish.)
Apply a little grease to
the slides. Pull them out
one-at-a-time, wipe
them clean with a soft
cloth, rub a small
amount of slide grease
on them, and carefully
insert them back into
your trumpet.
Every few months wash
out the insides of your
trumpet to keep it
sanitary and working
smoothly. Disassemble
your trumpet in a large
sink or bathtub of warm
water and mild dish
soap. (Be very careful
with the disassembled
parts as the smallest
dent will prevent them
from fitting back in your
trumpet and moving
properly. A soft towel
on the counter and at
the bottom of the sink
or tub will cushion any
falls.) Use your valve
and tube brushes to
gently scrub the insides
of your trumpet. Rinse
thoroughly and dry off
the parts. Apply a small
amount of grease to the
slides and put them
back into your trumpet.
The valve pistons are
numbered and must be
in the right casings for
the trumpet to play; the
valve closest to you
when you play is #1.
Apply a few drops of
valve oil to each piston,
turn it in its casing until
you hear the valve guide
click into place, and then
screw down the valve
cap. Test play your
trumpet; if some of the
notes won't play, either
the pistons are in the
wrong casings or the
valve guides didn't click
into place. (If your
pistons stick down
sometimes, your
trumpet probably needs
cleaning; if they stick
down every time, there
is probably a small dent
the repair shop will
need to remove.)

Saxophone
Saxophone is a fun
instrument that is found in
lots of styles of music, from
concert band to jazz to rock
to R&B.
The
saxophone sound is made by
a stream of air flowing
across the tip of the reed,
causing it to vibrate. The
frequency of the vibration is
determined by the distance
the air must travel before
escaping from the
saxophone. Tone holes are
carefully positioned on the
body of the instrument to
create the best intonation
possible for each note. As
each key is pressed, its pad
(soft leather disk under the
key) stops the airflow
through that tone hole. As
the distance the air must
travel increases, the tone
gets lower.
There are multiple sizes of
saxophones including
soprano, alto, tenor, and
baritone. Saxophonists
almost always begin on the
alto sax, but once you can
play it your can play all the
other saxophones too, as the
playing mechanism is
virtually the same.

History of the
Boys\' Brigade.
William Smith had started
as a teacher in the
Sabbath School which was
held in the mission hall,
where he found that the
older boys were bored and
restless. They were
suspicious of teachers who
told them to sit still, make
less noise, and generally
behave themselves - in
short, they were typical
teenagers! He compared
this with the time he
spent on a Saturday
afternoon, as a Lieutenant
with the volunteers, when
he had no difficulty in
making a hundred men
obey his every word of
command on the nearby
drill ground.
It was then he had his
idea: \'Drill and Discipline\'.
Why not turn the Sabbath
School boys into a
volunteer band or brigade,
with the same military
order, obedience, discipline
and self-respect as the
volunteers? A programme
combining games as well as
discipline, gymnastics and
sport as well as hymns and
prayers would appeal to
the boys. William Smith
planned the programme for
this new idea with two
friends, and on the 4th
October 1883 the three
leaders invited the boys of
North Woodside Mission
Sabbath School to join The
Boys\' Brigade.
The new organisation\'s
badge was an anchor, and
the motto \'Sure and
Stedfast\'. This was taken
from the Authorized
Version of the Bible, from
the Epistle to the Hebrews,
chapter 6, verse 19: \'Which
hope we have as an anchor
of the soul, both sure and
stedfast\'. The Object was
also quite clear from the
beginning:
\"The advancement of
Christ\'s Kingdom among
Boys and the promotion of
habits of Reverence,
Discipline, Self-Respect, and
all that tends towards a
true Christian Manliness.\"
(The word Obedience was
added some ten years
later). For the first year
the Boys only wore a
Rosette as a badge, and the
officers wore the civilian
bowler hat. The following
year the Cap, Belt, and
haversack were brought
together as the first
complete uniform. The Pill-
box in common use during
these days had no chin-
strap and fitted close to the
head, but it had two
distinguished rows of
white braid worn at a
jaunty angle. Soon
afterwards the proper pill-
box was brought in and
the officers turned to the
Glengarry for their
headgear.
The Boys' Brigade (BB) is
an interdenominational
Christian youth
organisation, conceived by
William Alexander Smith
to combine drill and fun
activities with Christian
values.[1] Following its
inception in Glasgow in
1883, the BB quickly
spread across the United
Kingdom and became a
worldwide organisation by
the early 1890s.[2] As of
2003, there were
500,000 Boys' Brigade
members in 60 countries.[3]
Object, motto and emblem
The stated object of the
Boys' Brigade is "The
advancement of Christ's
kingdom among Boys and
the promotion of habits of
Obedience, Reverence,
Discipline, Self-respect and
all that tends towards a
true Christian manliness."
Except for the addition of
the word "obedience" in
1893, the contents of the
object has remained
unchanged from the
beginning.[4] However,
some countries,
particularly those which
permit girls on their
membership roll, have re-
worded the object for
gender neutrality. For
example, in Malaysia, the
word "manliness" has been
changed to "character".
When designing the
Brigade's motto and crest,
William Smith referred
directly to Hebrews 6:19 in
the King James Version of
the Bible, "Which hope we
have as an anchor of the
soul, both sure and
stedfast...".[1]
From this verse came the
BB motto, "Sure and
Stedfast", retaining the old
spelling of the latter word.
[4] Today, some parts of
the movement have
adopted the modern
spelling of "steadfast",
whilst others continue to
use the original spelling.[2]
[5]
The crest was originally a
plain anchor, bearing the
BB motto with a capital 'B'
on either side. Upon the
merger between the Boys'
Brigade and the Boys' Life
Brigade in 1926, the red
Greek cross was placed
behind the anchor to form
the current emblem.[2] The
cross originally formed
part of emblem of the Boys'
Life Brigade.
Leadership
Officers (adult leaders)
Leaders in training are
Warrant Officers,
attaining the rank of
Lieutenant only when
having completed
additional formal training
in youth leadership. To
avoid unnecessary leader
hierarchy, all qualified
officers are Lieutenants.
The post of Captain of a
company is a brevet rank
with those in the position
reverting to Lieutenant
when they cease to be in
the position; similarly
other positions such as the
company Adjutant (second
to the captain) are
considered appointments
rather than substantive
ranks.
Boys bearing the rank of
Staff-Sergeant are non-
commissioned officers but
act within the company as
Officers.
Boys as Non-Commissioned
Officers
An older boy can gain
promotion to become a Non-
Commissioned Officer
(NCO). There are five ranks
available, each being
awarded when a boy is of a
certain age and reaches a
high enough standard of
leadership. The five ranks
are:
Private (minimum age 11
or promotion to Company
section)
Lance Corporal (minimum
age 14)
Corporal (minimum age
15)
Sergeant (minimum age
16)
Staff Sergeant (minimum
age 17)
In addition, there is the
ceremonial rank of Drum
Major who leads the band.
NCOs often play an
important role in the Boys\'
Brigade, helping the
officers and other adult
helpers with organising
activities and awards
classes, particular in the
Anchors and Juniors
sections. NCOs wear
chevrons on their upper
right arm, a red sash is
worn by Colour Sergeants
and a Drum Major wears a
badge on his right upper
armband.
Staff sergeants act within
the company as officers and
do not stand in the ranks;
however Staff Sergeants
are boys of the Brigade. As
they have received no
formal training as officers
and are not required to
undergo the standard
police checks as they are
still serving ‘boys’, they
can still partake in
company activities and
computations and still earn
awards and badges. The
uniform of Staff Sergeants
is slightly different from
that of the normal boy or
NCO, they wear still wear
a blue shirt with an
armband on the right
forearm but has four
inverted chevrons on it and
the cap badge (if caps are
worn) is just the BB
Anchor with no coloured
surround.(as historically
worn by senior grades of
sergeant in the British
Army); other than that
the rest of the uniform is
the same.
