I am the Band Captain at Lowndes Middles School in Valdosta, Georgia as of the year of 2005-2006! I'm going to one of the Nation's most renown high school bands next year...Lowndes High School!  :D I really think God for blessing me with such talents that I can do things like this along wiht singing (2 time Georgia All-State Chorus), playing the keyboard a little, and greta leadership skills.

pianist/clarinet player and school band director also playing soprano saxophone at church now.  I find it is interesting that not everybody knows what a soprano sax is in my church. ;D
I know what ya mean! Mostly every one at my church call my alto saxaphone anything but that. It's been called a trumpet, a flute, and even a harmonica!

They're over here and everywhere. I have a tenor sax. There are not many saxophone players on a national level. We mostly hear smooth jazz guys who do a gospel or two every now and again. Have you guys heard Gerald Albright's "We fall down" or Kirk Whalum's "The gospel according to jazz" I and II CD and videos are available.

I play with background tracks and do instrumentals. I take what I heard in smooth jazz sax players and apply it for Jesus the giver of every good and perfect gift.

The mouthpiece and reed are very important...its not so much the horn.

I've found that latter to be true very much so. When picking a horn I think it's very important to really go based on feel and comfort, of course different horns will have a more focused or more spread sound, but the mouthpiece and reeds make a really big difference. I bet most people will find they sound the same on different horns if they use the same mpc and reed combination.

They sound the same on different horns with similar mouthpiece and reeds.  Kirk Whalum's Hymns CD is knockin'.  Never knew the man was into gospel that much.
