Not all that much changes. Opinion varies greatly on the subject of bore
oiling, from once a month to never. Other than that, swab carefully each
time you play it, and protect it from temperature extremes, especially
large sudden changes. In other words, use the plastic one for marching
band if at all possible.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
