Among other things already mentioned by others, I always have

• travel toothbrush
  toothpaste
  plastic toothpicks
  dental floss

Started carrying these when I had braces, but still find them useful even though the braces are gone.

Speaking of mouthpieces that are kept in gigbags (attempt to keep "on-topic"), I used to work for (quite a lot, come to think of it) a banjo/guitar player/contractor who kept, in the trunk of his car, one each of the "standard" sized brass mouthpieces (trumpet, trombone, tuba), just in case someone showed up to one of his gigs without one.

I can attest to the fact that they were occasionally used......

Used to, "back in the day"......



Graciously imbibed by all the well-heeled swells....

I've seen this most frequently in the Morris dance scene - in general, not specifically musicians. Steel flasks of distilled spirits, and herbal refreshments both. Morris is a tradition from England. The Puritans fled England to come here. QED

Because my gig bag has to contain a tuba stand, it is a lot bigger than ya'll's gig bags. Stand light, glasses, tuba stand and spacer to put under the won't-stay-up central post, black towel to rest bell on. No tools because if it breaks on a gig I'm toast. So where do you put your tuba stand?

Usually have a generic 18t and a Conn 2 with tuning bits for the 2xj beast. Stand light. A crown royal bag filled with tuner, clothes pins, spare part)s and a good supply of Monster faster oil. Oh yeah, my huge music book too.
