The 7th grade jazz band memories are flooding back. Playing the Tenor and Alto Sax was the best decision I've ever made

This is so fun to play on string bass, especially when my jazz band only has two saxophones, one trombone, and two trumpets, so I basically have some melody 😂

As someone who got the tenor solo and modified it a bit, this is a great reference

Played trombone 3 in jazz band during my 7th grade year, I basically had a solo from measure 5 to 12 which was awesome. The other person who had my part wasn't there. GOD, I miss jazz band

I played this in 5th grade as my first solo, and let me tell you, nothing feels better than nailing a solo in front of a crowd. Beautiful piece.
