Last concert of the year for the Lynnwood Community band. Truth be known, I am in that fine organization because my wife wanted to find a community band closer to our house and one that didn’t practice past 8:30 at night. She plays clarinet.

I play tenor sax in this band because they have way too many alto and bari sax players. I also sub in the jazz band when they are down a player. And, the band directors (concert and jazz) often accept my chart recommendations. I miss all the alto sax solos I used to get the Woodinville Community Band, but there you have it.
