Use some bore oil on a cloth, and rub the water spots and surrounding areas to blend it in with the rest of the wood.

Have a word with your MD and explain to them that future outdoor concerts should be played in venues with a cover rather than being completely uncovered as rain doesn't do woodwind instruments any good.

I played my d'amore outdoors recently and it started raining slightly (but still enough to cause worry), but all the adjusting screws that were tempered a nice deep blue have now all dulled down and gone grey.

Have you got an all plastic oboe you can use for outdoor concerts?
