I took a long while building up the chops for this one, and then changing the key from the original down a halfstep because I just couldn't do it lol. But here is my feature song for my New soprano (okay its 6 months old now, but I haven't reviewed it yet).

So here is a small summary of my thoughts on it:

I bought a $300 soprano from Eastern Music, its a curvy with the bronze/copper and silver plated keywork. Its very well put together, has great intonation, and plays superbly across the range of the horn. I've paired it with a metal Yani #5 and love how easy it is for me. Perfect soprano for someone who doesn't play it very often like me!

I hope you all enjoy this song and my arrangement!

Nice! What took longer...getting up your soprano chops or finding three other sax players who look and sound just like you?
Haha well soprano chops were mostly fixed by changing down .01 in tip size. After that it was me fighting the song in the original key for 3 months. Then finally the last 2 weeks, I changed it to this key, and lo and behold. The three other guys are chumps, the Solo soprano player is the only good one, and he's wearing a raiders shirt 🙂

I also think my Alto was slightly out of tune (stupid stuffy middle D is in here a lot) in the background here, sorry for that. If anyone wants the sheets to do it better I'll gladly supply them 🙂

I didn't imagine there were a ton of Boyz II Men fans, so here's the original just in case anyone was wondering :)

GOOD job, Jared.
