Michael, rinse the horn carefully, oil through slides (first slide), perhaps loose the back screw of the trigger, give it a very light knock, which might loosen a too tight bearing plate (the valve cap loosened before (not unscrewed). Move the trigger. It should work then. Regarding first chair:

If you have the horn at home, just play a little on it each day. Fifteen minutes should do the trick. A good horn is like a violin, you really should play it every now and then or if you don't, the next time you play it the valves could be stuck or much worse the oil could be gummed up. I only

Holton rotor oil is very bad. It is an oil which dries out very rapidly and is also difficult to apply. However since you only have three days, go down to K-Mart or Wal-Mart. Look in the shower or bathroom section and find a shower or sink hose attachment. They should have some for about 4 dolla

In 1915 D. W. Griffeth combined an orchestral score pieced together from existing classical music for the film Birth of a Nation. Al Jolson did most of the songs for the first "talkie," The Jazz Singer and that was in 1927. For most of the early films and such I don't think you can attribute it
