What do you get when you eliminate all of the not-so-good players and keep only the very best? Much sweeter music.
Jon (and the other musicians) spent the entire day (8 - 4:30) learning to play together and learning 5 songs for tonight’s concert. I am amazed at how well they played.
Have a listen to Missouri’s Southwest District Concert Band playing “City of Lights” - trust me, you’ll enjoy it.
