There are these things on the end of the slides of the Trumpet, near the bell, called spit valves. Press on it and blow fast air through the horn. The spit will then come out on to the floor. Make sure you clean it up! :) Do you play the trumpet? If so, how long have you been playing? Letting spit sit in your trumpet is not good for it. If will mess up the sound and tone. Make sure you empty the spit valves ASAP!

Where is the spit valve on a flute?
There is no spit valve on the Alto Saxophone. There is a spit valve on most Bari Saxophones and Contrabass Saxophones. To remove spit the easiest way is to breath in with your mouth on the mouthpiece as hard as you can. This seems a little unsanitary, but it is the most efficient way, because certain times you will not have more than half a second of a break, and if you have a spittish-tone, you will want to try to get the spit out from inside your mouthpiece.

How do you drain spit from a French horn?
To drain the spit from a french horn, make sure the mouthpiece is NOT connected, then flip the horn so that the bell is facing to your bottom right, and the mouthpiece slot is facing your bottom left. From there, remove the tuning slide from the instrument. Then simply flick the slide to remove the spit from it, and reinsert it to your horn. If this does not work, you spit is probably in one of your valve slides. Follow the same process from above, except turn it so your valves are pointing upward, and their slides downward. Then empty each one in turn in the way mentioned above, until the spit is located.
