I had this same thing happen to me when I was a senior in high school. I took it to a qualified brass repair specialist immediately and he had it done two days later (five hrs of work - gave me a break at $200). Depending on the extend of the damage, it probably won't take longer than this - unless the horn took impact somewhere that will completely stop the air. Mine was pretty bad, though: the rotary valve section was literally hanging off the horn. Take heart. In the right hands, this can be fixed quickly and efficiently.
