It is the summer of 2010 and it is getting closer to the school term every day. I decided to join the school band this year having joined it in grade 7 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am going into the 9th grade but did not do band in grade 8. I played the alto saxophone in grade 7 and was pretty good at it but after taking a year off and returning my alto saxophone I've begun to like the deeper sound of the tenor saxophone over the alto's. After a year of not playing saxophone at all do you think i should start the new year with the tenor, the saxophone i prefer but have never played, or return to the alto which I have played before but don't like the sound as much.
