Looking to buy an intermediate alto sax

Hello! I'm in 10th grade and have been playing the alto sax for 5 years (although I've played musical instruments in general for 8 years). I still have the same sax that I started out with, and it's a student model that really isn't doing too well anymore. I'm in marching band and the highest level wind ensemble in my school, and I'm looking for a saxophone that would be good for both bands. I'm especially looking for one that will have good tone quality, as my current sax really is not good in that aspect at all! I definitely don't want a professional one, though; I love my sax and will definitely keep playing it for a long time, but I'm not really interested in professional music at all. Thanks!

    Stick with your current horn for marching band.  What's best for other purposes depends on your individual goals as a player.
