It’s amazing how you don’t make the mixed meter feel forced

Best recording of this, so making that these are all college/highschool kids

[@MarkSmithSaxophone]

This group had sophomores through seniors.

[@reedsong1403]

@@MarkSmithSaxophone as a junior in high school this makes me intimidated 😂 great that there are people this talented out there

[@MarkSmithSaxophone]

@@reedsong1403 No need to be intimidated. Rather, let it inspire you to work towards those playing goals! You can do it!

[@ItsAidanGames]

my highschools's sax courtet is playing this piece this year, should be interesting. Im not in it but I'm currently learning sax though im a clarinet player currently.

Agreed! We love Volcanic Ash!

[@itzhydra8252]

Is the section starting at 2:57 improvised?

[@MarkSmithSaxophone]

No. I wrote the alto solo. Gian put together the soprano solo changes from the original.

[@oofidc1487]

Wow where can I find the sheet music

[@hoopessence012]

Hey where do you guys have the alto solo at like part U and where he improvised w altissimo, or do you guys have a transcription for iy

[@MarkSmithSaxophone]

I wrote that solo for him.

[@matthewserraino8919]

You guys should play The Moanin’ Frogs version of Malagueña :)

[@MarkSmithSaxophone]

Funny that you say that. Some of the Hebron saxophonists told me they were going to do just that!

[@spidertitan7236]

Imma see if I can do this for solo and ensamble

[@MarkSmithSaxophone]

@@spidertitan7236 You should!!!

[@PeytonTeetor]

Wow insane do you happen to have sheet music for this? I am looking for sheet music for 1 soprano 2 altos 2 tenors and 1 bari for my sax ensamble it would be amazing if I could get it also incredible work if you don’t have music for it so you know where I could find it?
