Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 4772345, member: 750"] All our arrangements our done by our leader, keyboardist and alto sax player. There are 10 of us. 1 trumpet (me), 2 alto saxes, 1 tenor sax, another keyboardist, rhythm guitar, electric bass guitar, drum set and 2 conga players. We back up 9 singers - 3 males and 6 females. The singers, in various combos, perform 2 part to 4 part harmony. We perform a wide variety of styles. Elvis, Miami Sound Machine, Sinatra, Motown, rhythm & blues, blues, some jazz vocals, Stevie Wonder, the Four Seasons. Our book is about 120 songs. We perform 5 times a year. Always a sold out perfomance. We do get solos within the band. So yea, I do get to use my upper register to "scream" a little. Since we are all in our late 60's to 70's, we have a great time performing. For us it's all about the music. [/QUOTE]
