i think that there should be a thread/topic for us marching band guysThanks for your suggestion.
What kind of saxophone issues would you like to discuss in that topic area?

[IncognitoSaxman]

lets see marching band...
well, perhaps
-tips and tricks of the trade, like with dot books, at band camp, during competitions, how to prevent damage to your sax while marching, (most bands march even in the severest of weather, which is really brutal on the instruments)
-the marching band experience, stories and the like
-marching band music
-drum (and bugle) corps-highly intense and competitive professional marching
-and going along with the whole saxophone-at-school theme, i guess you could possibly also have playing at school. i dont know how much that would overlap with classical saxophone however.


-anybody else got ideas?

A marching band forum would just revive an old nightmare for me. I pass.
