Program Notes:

Storm Chaser is an exciting and energetic piece for young band which combines dynamic and driving rhythms and a variety of percussion colours. Storm chasers are brave men and women that pursue tornados or hurricanes for scientific work or just for the thrill of witnessing these amazing natural events up close. A band/audience-generated rain effect and a pick-a-note measure will make this a unique experience for both young performers and audiences.
