well, I'm in grade nine(freshman in high school) I played along with software so the "band" in the background isn't me just the sax part is. I use a Rovner Eddie Daniels Ligature, Selmer C* mouthpiece, and Vandoren ZZ jazz reeds strength 4, and *looks away* lol a yamaha YAS-23 beginner alto. In the US i've never heard of any tests, is it an international thing or just in the UK?
