I really appreciate the link provided, it was helpful.
He's a saxophone player/contra alto, however we own an Alto Sax only. Thank you for letting us know about bringing it along if he's heading north!
alaska66- I showed him this site last night and he's been reading through the posts, so he will see your personal response concerning DD. Thank you for responding and giving more incite. He's been a sax player since 5th grade, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band (w/solo pieces) and Marching Band (woodwind captain). This information will give him something to think about, if he'd like to continue with music.
