BAND MEMBER CLONES SAXOPHONES

Arts Alive! band member Brian McFadyen has recently released the results of his attempts to clone early-20th century silver Conn saxes. The Palos Hills resident accomplished the top-secret work in his apartment. When asked for what she thought, his wife Suzanne mumbled something under her breath as she tried to find room for the latest creation, a bass saxophone the size of a typical American 13-year old.

WE MOURN OUR LOSS AND STRENGTHEN OUR RESOLVE
The members of the Tinley Park Arts Alive! Community Band sends its deepest sympathies and prayers to the families of the victims and salute the heroes of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC

We also pray for the safe return of the men and women of America's Armed Forces who are engaged in the war on terrorism.
