AWESOME!!!! My son is the only one who did band in our family. It's amazing how much cooler the kids think it is than when we were that age. Esp. love it when marching band plays songs like 'Crazy Train!'<br /><br />Sax is a fine choice.

I also played sax (alto, then tenor), and I did what all my friends did: Sat at home trying to figure out how to play music we liked (I remember trying to learn the intro to the Beatles Got To Get You Into My Life). Then we'd get to school and the band teacher would have us play something ancient and really slow, and no one was into it at all.<br /><br />So good for a band teacher who knows that the FIRST song you learn is ALWAYS Smoke on the Water.DogsOnDrugs.comhttp://dogsondrugs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-86437952792543983612012-06-08T09:29:37.244-04:002012-06-08T09:29:37.244-04:00Almost as cool, they had the 5th grade band do bot...Almost as cool, they had the 5th grade band do both "Eye of the Tiger" AND "Gonna Fly Now."Kevin McKeeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673014424525900380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-89522383815648932232012-06-08T09:26:05.037-04:002012-06-08T09:26:05.037-04:00That band performance brought tears to my eyes.
