Program Notes
This powerful and engaging work will energize your students and audience alike. Inspired by the floods brought upon by Hurricane Irene, Flash Flood pays homage to the innate human ability to rise from disaster and persevere with strength and pride. After the devastation from the flood, families, friends, and entire communities worked together to rebuild. Those affected by the floods faced the tragedy with heroism, and those who helped in the rebuilding effort showed an immeasurable amount of compassion.
Commissioned by the Lehman Intermediate School 7th and 8th Grade Band" East Stroudsburg (PA) Area School District – Matthew Flicker, Director.
