Well done! Having grown up experiencing the Black church, this piece captures the celebration that happens on Sundays in the Black community very well!

[@GoTeam383]

Sounds great! I think that's the first band piece I've seen with a doubled soprano sax part. Awesome!

[@ThomasW280]

I’ve listened to several different recordings of this (as well as listening to one in real life) and so far this is the best tenor sax solo I’ve heard!

[@BrianKachur]

Hi Thomas! I was the saxophone soloist on this piece--thank you for your kind words!!! :)

[@Saxgod]

@@BrianKachurso I’m auditioning on this Tuesday and I kept thinking the end needs a lick like that but I’m scared to do it cause I don’t know if it will kill my audition or not. Did you get permission to add that little stuff at the end instead of just holding the F out?

[@Saxgod]

@@BrianKachurokay as I get to more recent performances everyone is adding stuff at the end. I think you set the trend my man. So if everyone is now doing that at the end I’m gonna do it to on my audition lol.

[@adamb4610]

The conductor couldn’t have shown less energy on Shout! Otherwise, it was a good performance and the tenor soloist killed it
