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!

Energetic and impressive overture for better middle school and jr. high bands that is descriptive of a dangerous storm that struck and partially destroyed a town. Three sections of the piece represent the calm before the storm, the tornado and the rebuilding. Includes short solos for Flute and F Horn and very interesting percussion parts which will challenge your young drummers. OUTSTANDING!
