Claude T. Smith Fantasia for Alto Saxophone

Chris McDerment performing "Fantasia" by Claude T. Smith with the Ohio University Wind Ensemble in April 2009 as part of winning the annual concerto competition. The AC was broken in the hall the night of the performance. A couple of water issues. Enjoy!
