Condition Red

Condition Red is an exciting work for symphonic band that demonstrates the composer's mastery of orchestrating for the band medium. Scored to sound like modern film music, Condition Red is a suspenseful composition that shows the composer's flair for the dramatic. The work evokes a sense of danger and exhilaration as the listener is taken on this musical journey.
