Martybucs Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Think about your favorite food or what you ate for dinner last night. Usually gets the salivary glands going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coathope Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Does blood work? I don't mean chew on the inside of your cheek. Just a small bit of pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Gently chewing on your tongue will release saliva. I know some corps have members suck on a piece of lemon before shows. Drink enough water, though, and that will take care of a large part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martybucs Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I don't mean chew on the inside of your cheek. Just a small bit of pressure. I knew that, I was just teasing. I've been told that very solution before myself over the years. Really, think of a very appetizing meal or food you really like. It does work. Try it now and you'll see that in a short few moments - no more dry mouth. Edited July 9, 2009 by Martybucs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't lemon have some sugars or whatever that could stay in the mouth, and when the horn is played, the sugar go into the horn and cause problems with the horn? Or is it just lemonade that I'm thinking of with the sugar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm sure there's some acid, but we're not talking about eating a whole lemon, so I doubt it's enough to cause any sort of real damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
