  • cool

  • @SIRONEDRAGON thanks

  • I enjoyed it!

  • @nwepats thanks! :)

  • Sorry, I ran out of space before. Good use of harmonic generalization on the solos. Avoid repeated notes(ta-ta-ta-tat). Leave space there instead,nothing wrong with silence. Don't worry about the so called rock thing, you're all just playing and that's the point (I didn't even notice it) I think,and I know it's hard at first, even though it's a good arrangement, it's easy enough to memorize and that will definatley?(sp) loosen up the feel. All this is meant to help, you kids did a good job!

  • thanks for the suggestions!

I haven't seen him in over 20 years. I think about him often! I would love to get in touch with him. Nice job guys! Keep up the good work! :D

Intonation is always a problem (horns) and that can only be solved through long tone and proper mouthpiece(brass &w,w,) and reed selection(saxes). Good use of harmonic generalization i
