The Bay Concert Band recently played a fairly new and not overly difficult
piece called "New York: 1927" by Warren Barker. It is a three-section
number consisting of a jazzy-ragtimey opening, a slow blues middle, and a
street hustle-bustle-traffic-sounds finale. We introduced it as being a
remembrance of better times in New York. The clarinet section, by the way,
is featured in the middle section.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
