That is completely true.  Make sure that your valves are going straight down, or they will rub against the side.  I usually have this problem in marching band because my fingers aren't long enough to reach the valves on a suzy.  This can be overcome by just constantly reminding yourself while you play.  If you tell yourself enough times, you'll eventually remember.  I learned that one from Jeff Curnow.  He must be doing something right if he's in Phili.
