As soon as this next-in-line middle school's wrecked instruments are done/delivered/billed (apparently, they prefer "brown" horns, too

), I'd REALLY like to get this thing slicked out, photographed, and sold to someone with dough burning a hole in their pocket...so what tune should I use for a demo, and should I wear blue, or grey...??
