"Overblowing"
ok, this year is almost a big reckoning for me in the fact that i cant squeak by anymore. im the best junior sax player at my school, theres another one whos been playing as long as me, and one that just started 2 years ago who is better than the other junior.
but im almost at the level of our senior player, and we only have one of him..
me and him double up on 1st alto, and the other 15 saxes are 2s..crazy i kno, were a catholic highschool that doesnt have enough ppl for 2 "select" bands so we have to take everyone..
but to my problem. im a 2nd alto in jazz and a 1st in legit, and ive been working on support, playing out more and whatnot so i can stand out a lil more in jazz because the 1st alto,2nd alto, 1st bone, and 1st trumpet almost make a trio that lead the rest of the band. at least thats what ive been told, plus were more of a big band style jazz..
i noticed though, that when im trying to play alone, but make my part stand out, i dont know if the rest of the numb brained dumbasses in the band ( and trust me, they are nothing but that ), i dont know if theyre playin to loud or i just cant play. when im at the peak of my volume range, it sounds as if im overblowing and almost is out of tune.. might that be my mpc?? (selmer s80 c*) or reed?? or maybe the band is playing too loud?? help me out
