@@carsonwayne1320 The back in forth actually make it easier. I think in this piece it's for range purposes, but composers typically split figures like that up between parts, especially in the band setting.

in ways it's easier, in other ways it's harder. For less experienced people getting that level of coordination and timing down is much much harder theoretically than just hitting the rights notes. @@gdbyzantryx810

The quality sound at 5:27 surely is because of the caliber of the instrument because these guys nailed this...need a 12000 sax for the guy playing that high note please and thanks 😊😊😊😊

this inspired me to write a sax quartet of my own, using a similar progression but i didnt copy anything off this song

Some people tend to feel a difference with different materials -- I believe Tim McAllister has a video of himself on youtube going to some Selmer factory and trying out a bunch of different necks to see which one sounds the best and gives the most overtones.
