I started playing alto saxophone in 6th grade, and now I'm going into my final year of high school. I've marched for five years and will be section leader this upcoming year. It a weird feeling to explain but it's like, when I playing saxophone all of my stress goes away and I get lost in playing. Sometimes my fingers just do there own thing and it's wonderful. Music is something to treasure, it inspires us and motivates us in ways nothing else can. And I for one love to play the music that does that, but not just play what's on the paper but feel what comes off of the paper. And with this short paragraph I will leave one of my favorite quotes. "Music did not just save your life, it gave you the strength and will power to save yourself".
