Wonderful march. I "discovered" it many years ago when it was out of print. I wrote the Marine Band and a month later got a set of copied parts in the mail. I scored it from the parts and our local community band played it. At the time I did not have a computer and so did the whole arrangement with pen and manuscript paper.

I am almost 74 and have been playing this since age 12. Played 1st alto sax and now 1st clarinet the last ten years. Very nice to hear the different parts. I especially like the trombone parts when they are loud and low later in the song.

I know I’m still somewhat new to the alto but how can you move your tongue and fingers that fast? I tried playing both sleigh ride 1st and 2nd part and I just couldn’t get it

@benballard 6 ай бұрын

Honestly I still kinda struggle with that too. For getting your tongue to be faster, I’d say relax your embouchure while making the back of your tongue your molars. The only thing I can recommend for your fingers is finding a technical book with exercises you can practice. There’s plenty out there you can find. Of course, everyone learns differently but I’m sure with practice you’ll become a great musician!
