Tornado Alley is a unique programmatic work for young bands that musically depicts a devastating tornado and its aftermath. The peaceful opening theme sets the stage at daybreak in a small Midwestern, town before the dreaded warning sirens, generated acoustically through creative techniques, send citizens scattering for shelter as the tornado sweeps through. Musical effects include whirly tubes, thunder tubes, trills and others. An exceptional music experience for the developing concert band!
