Well as a fellow SOTWer Im of course very interested in the instrument. Being a high school student, I spend a lot of time in honor band and at school playing concert band literature, as most of the other high school saxophonists do. Since sax section has become such a crucial part of the concert band I suggest that you open up a new forum regarding symphonic band. Many of the newer pieces of music have plenty of alto sax and soprano solos and I think it would be a good idea to have a section devoted to this topic. Ive seen some of this in the Classical Saxophone section but most of this is , of course, solo work. I suggest that we put the Symphonic Band Section under Playing/ Performance styles. If anyone would like to comment, support or question please do so and I'll try to respond ASAP.
