Accepted to play in this Army Field band in 1969, Family issues at Home kept me from reenlisting, a true regret I think about to this day. What a great Band.
Played Bari on this piece for district and state solo and ensemble. Honestly saxophone quartets are probably what I miss most about my tenure in band. Our BD required that the section do a quartet to challenge us
"Open-throat" and plenty of air support. Using high quality mouthpieces and gear can only change much, but when used with proper technique and rigorous practice :)
+The United States Army Field Band That is hands down the best classical mouthpiece for alto saxophone. I switched from the Rousseau when I was a sophomore in college.

great to hear such a fine saxophone section/quartet!
Carol Kramer check out the 3:1 quartet!
To me forever, but I finally found this ensemble again. Played this in high school loved it. Even went to state competition with it
Love this one. Played this in high school.
Very nice work, thanks to all for this public service!
Bravo! Beautiful Playing!
Wonderful finish to your earlier upload of the Andante portion! Keep posting!
Nice job, guys. Really!
Wow! Outstanding!
You got Brian Sekewa I ❤ how he does the saxophone.
How does the Baritone Sax player make such a resonant and “bassy” tone? Super nice.

EQing and reverb in post-processing.
did you guys take private lessons earlier in your career
trevinia turner I'm sure they did
Does anybody know the name of the alto sax ligature he's using?
Manuel Vásquez Its called an Ishimori
Thanks! It was driving me crazy hahaha
Dan the man.. nice playing on that sop! I always knew you would amount to something ;)
Is that a Yanagisawa soprano? Regardless, the group sounds amazing.
Larry Lenau It is a Selmer, series III
They are all playing on Selmers.
What mouthpiece is using Sergeant first class christopher blossom?
Beautiful playing. Camera is a little jittery though
I like it like that. Makes it visually more interesting in my opinion.
What mouthpiece is the soprano player using?
