When I played my big Holton, I would pull slides quite a bit and dump water.

Towards the end of the time that I owned it, I worked out a routine by which I would hold the instrument at certain angles while depressing various pistons and GENTLY blowing air. I was able to tease the water out of the individual valve slides and collect all of the water in the MAIN slide for general dumping (hopefully on someone else's beautiful wood floor).
