Tenor Sax-ness

Hey guys! So thursday's Jazz Band concert was a hit, and it went totally well. I was actually quite proud of my solo. But here's the news. Dan the bari sax from PVHS was playing 1st tenor in jazz band. And he is going on his mission soon to California. So he is no longer playing with us. Well, before when Dan was with us, We had 3 altos, 2 tenors, and a bari. So now we have 3 altos, 1 tenor, and a bari. TOTAL UNBALANCE! So Dennis was talking and said, "Well, we'll need another tenor..." and turns to me and says, "it's either you or Liza" And I beyond doubt that Liza would take it. SO! I started to think about the advantages and disatvantages about this opportunity I have been given. And came to the conclussion that it would be great for me as a musician. Including, it'll give me a lot of more air support on the alto, I'll be confident in another woodwind, looking good on gig resumes.

So, I went to work and talked to Richard, and we only have one tenor available for rent, which is $65 a month.... :P and well, my mum came in with my brother, because he wanted to buy a guitar amp, so I told my mum about needing a decent tenor and not knowing what to do. And she rented the one tenor we had on the spot!!! it quite shocked me. It's a brand new, Vito. It's really pretty, and has a good tone. So I'm only going to rent it for about 3 to 4 months.

I'm really excited to play Tenor in jazz now. It kinda got old being a double on a part. Now I have my own part to play! lol. well, you all will have to come to my christmas concert on December 6th, I believe, and listen to me play tenor! haha. Have a great day and hugs to everyone.

Love, Jill
