Their playing is so tight, but sometimes I wish the bari was a bit louder. I love the booming low sound sticking out just a little bit from the rest of the voices.
@euanthepianoboy 6 жыл бұрын
The low fidelity of early sound recording technology did absolutely no justice to the complex and rich tonal quality of a saxophone section. It’s a shame digital recording didn’t really exist in the big band era.

I read in the paper about how some congresswoman carried a bill to cut funds for military bands, also your petition failed.That is soooo sad. I wonder if she ever saw/heard what you guys do, it's so inspiring she would pull the bill for sure!! What a fabulous recruiting tool! Everyone on this post is ready to join up right now! I could make a few PC incorrect comments about that lousy bill but I will refrain. As a sax player myself I have a real appreciation for how well you all play. I just wish I had your "saxophone standard" and "inside the big band" when I was starting out, I might have stuck with it! Fabulous, don't ever let them tell you you're not needed!

For the regular military bands they do go through basic training and everything, I'm pretty sure it's different for the president's own military band as they are always where the president is and they focus completely on their music and I don't think that they go through basic. the band director for the correlating middle school for my high school was one person away from getting into the presidents own military band on alto saxophone out of about 5,000 people.
