Adult Beginner - 3 Years Later

Hey guys,

3 years ago I drove down to my local music store and rented a tenor saxophone. I started at 38 y/o having never played a woodwind instrument, and not knowing what to expect. Only that I wanted to finally really try to put in the time, effort, and consistency to play music. When I was a kid and young adult, I tried: piano, violin, and guitar but they fell my the wayside. What remained however, was the desire to make music.

I've documented my journey along the way and am sharing this video in hopes that other late bloomers may take inspiration from it. Not that I'm some amazing player or anything, but if theres one thing I've done right, it's being consistent.

Transposing/Learning 4 Songs - Help Requested

Hey guys I have the opportunity to play at my church in a couple of weeks and need to learn how to change the provided sheet music to Bb for tenor, as I am assuming that this sheet music is not written for tenor saxophone. This is the first time that I am leaving the safety of my 'practice shop' and will be playing with other musicians in front of an audience. I would like to go in as prepared as possible. Hopefully not embarrass myself. I have heard of software called Musecore which might allow me to do this? Any suggestions tips or guidance would be most appreciated. I have attached the 4 songs.
