Budget alto sax mouthpieces for jazz?

Hey yall, clarinet player here. Im currently picking up alto for my high school's jazz 2 band, and since im borrowing from a friend's beginner sax, and they use a better sax from the school and they use the same mouthpiece from the beginner sax, meaning I'm w/o a mouthpiece, and since im only using this thing for jazz, I wouldn't see buying a classical mouthpiece useful. If anything, I'm looking for something like in price comparability from Clark W Fobes Debut Clarinet mouthpieces but everywhere I've seen these jazz mouthpieces can run really expensive. Any suggestions?

Okay I've asked Chat GPT to grade a bunch of SAQ's I tried to do and I have failed pretty miserably at them. I let it teach me how to do it and it showed me like jusr right it short and sweat but this totaly contradicts what my teacher has taught me, being 3 sentences, Answer, Cite, Explain (ACE.)

This is the 2025 SAQ I used answered a part of, would I actually get one of the points?

“History teaches us that those who forget to think about themselves will be forgotten by others! It is this principle that prompts me to publish a women’s newspaper.

My sisters, join me so that we shall not be left behind while everyone else around us is pushing forward. We demand the right to cultivate our human potential and the right to act independently in the state. We want to spread the great ideas of liberty and humanity through every avenue open to us. To the wider world, we want to spread these ideas through the press. Within the narrower world of our families, we want to spread these ideas through example, instruction, and child-rearing.

We want to earn our liberty and humanity, not by striving individually—each one for herself— but rather by looking after those who languish forgotten and neglected in poverty, misery, and ignorance—each for all.”

Source: Louise Otto-Peters, German writer, first issue of the Women’s Newspaper, the first women’s newspaper published in Germany, 1849.
The newspaper was banned by the government in Saxony, Germany. 2.

Respond to parts A, B, and C.
A. Identify one likely audience for the claims that the author makes in the passage.

B. Describe one historical context during the nineteenth century that explains the increased poverty and misery referred to in the fourth paragraph.

C. Explain how one ideology or set of ideas likely influenced the author’s claims in the passage.

For A I answered, based on CHATGPT's sayings, "One likely audience for the claims that the author makes in the passage is for women who have been forgotten by others."

This seems like total bs to me because it seems way too short and vague and I just dont get it why I got the full point on that.

(this is part A.)

▲ 1 r/sleep

Okay so, based on the title you can see I have a messed up sleep schedule. I normally asleep around 3-4AM and I have to get up around 6-6:30 Am as well. Leaving around 3-2 hour or sleep. Obviously

not optimal, I find myself being tired and taking naps after school which I would assume affects the sleep schedule. This has been going on for about a month or 2 now. How can I fix this?
