Meet Jordan! He has played alto saxophone for seven years. Jordan attends Wayne State University, and he's majoring in Saxophone Performance. We've had the pleasure of knowing Jordan for two years as he started lessons here in 2014. His participation in District 16's MSBOA Honors Band is what solidified his decision to major in music, and even possibly become a full time musician!
