Good stuff - It's nice to see them not playing it with some kind of video game controller or keyboard. Very cool - and I'm sure you're very proud as you should be!

My dad used to play the alto for years and was very, very good - traveled with some band for a long time. Not sure who it was though. That is one thing that I wish I had learned from him - but....

Anyway - thank you for sharing!

Nice! My son played the baritone sax in high school. I'm so glad they haven't cut band from the electives. Very little left for the kids to enjoy nowadays.
