[@marck7925]

This brought a smile to my face. Excellent playing, and it's wonderful to see some of these legacy saxophones getting played.

[@TheStoneblogs]

One of the rare occasions I will upvote saxes. Great sound likely with little to no rehearsing bravo.

[@paulcohen2556]

These players were amazing. We read the work twice while the camera was running. You heard the second take. Remarkable! Paul Cohen

[@sonoradolcesaxophonequarte4981]

Magnificent! Thanks for sharing this. Wonderful sound and wonderful musicians.

[@gbortizmusic]

[@loganward7800]

So relaxing slowed my heart rate down

[@pukalo]

It might not mean much coming from a Canadian like me, but I support the United States Armed Forces.

[@danbunch1514]

It means plenty to all of us. Canadian and US alike semper fi

[@OldAssSax]

I think it's great that we still get some support from the colonies!

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

Why would you?

[@SaxandRelax]

[@paulcohen2556]

Lisbon was the one movement that Grainger himself adapted for saxophones. The entire Lincolnshire Posy has been arranged for full saxophone choir! Find it at totheforepublishers.com Paul Cohen

[@davidscottkrause1]

Sweet! My mom wouldn't let me watch Lawrence Welk when I was a kid, it had too much sax and violins.

[@JBergmansson]

Wow, these guys... Brilliant!

[@gracev5288]

I would love to play in the US Army Field Band or the Air Force Band. I’m an oboist by the way and I find it interesting how similar the oboe and saxophone (in my experience saxophone is much much harder than the oboe). You guys have my respect

[@sovietmath]

The u.s. army having a KZbin channel for there band is just a fucking concept
