My Best Work. Bugler's Holiday - Sextet, S, S, S, T, B, BASS

[Saxer00]

If a lot of you are like me, you love the Nuclear Whales. On Feb of 2001 I got to see them in concert and it was so amazing on how they do their work and skits. So I was always a huge Leroy Anderson fan and LOVED Bugler's Holiday. So i deffinatly enjoyed the way the NWSO played it. later that month i took the trumpet solo and score and transposed it into a Saxophone Sextet similar to the NWSO! Took me about 2 months to complete everything also with the help of my friend Dannel

Soloist
Soprano 1
Soprano 2
Soprano 3

Low Winds
Tenor
Bari
Bass


Every Summer in high school I attended Florida State Univerisity Summer Music Camps. they informed me I can play the schools Bass sax in the summer for the camp. That summer when i arrived at camp i finally got to hear this peice and to try out the the honors recital. we made it and were the last to play in the concert and got a very well appluase.
this is byfar the best experience in my life i had because it was alot of hard work. here is some sounds of it

Impressive effort indeed, young sir! You have the spirit of the Nuclear Whales down remarkably well. Let us know if your saxtet continues...

[PaulNYC]

I can only say that that was really excellent! Everyone sounds great!

Good job.

Everyone sounds great! Nice arrangement....But as a bass player, I'm very partial to the low tones. Saxer00, you have done a great job of taming the beast. Well done! Do you still have an opportunity to play bass at all?

[Saxer00]

thank you guys! i want to maybe try to get it published but i want to show the NWSO themselves. ive emailed Don Steven from the NW and no anser, i guess ill have to wait til next time they are down
