Listen to the soundtrack of the movie "Heaven Can Wait" with Warren Beatty. The backround music throughout the movie is the 4th movement played on soprano. I have no idea who is playing it.

I really like the 4th movement. Always remember to keep a steady tempo: practice with a metronome!
A Selmer Series II? I wouldn't call that a 'sucky' sax. :?
Work with it...learn to control your intonation and squeaks unless there's something major wrong with it.
I wasn't using my series II, I was forced to use a Bundy II I think, I'm just temporarily using it because my series II broke down by itself again while I was playing during band class. The Bundy has problems with like leaks or something and squeaks at G and G#.
I was pretty much using a Rico Grand Concert Select, and I'm not comfortable with the reed since its not as free blowing as the Vandoren Traditionals, so I probably try to record again soon since Solo and Ensemble is postponed. I heard that my tempo isn't steady and I need to work on that, especially on the 4th movement.
 
You need to take in a little more mouthpiece and control your jaw movement just a little more. Also try to restrict your fingers a bit.

When you are blowing think that you are trying to get an all-encompassing warm room-filling blanket of sound. You sound good. I am confident you will improve. THere is some great advice out here.
