Welcome to the official Website of the Tornado Big Band!
Made up entirely of students in the 9th through 12th grades of the Butler Area School District in Butler, PA, this band is in its sixth year of performing jazz, latin, rock and classic big band songs. Led by founder, Jeff Kroner, this group is an extra-curricular activity, and members are selected each year through auditions which are open to Butler students in the 7th through 12th grade and are usually held in the Fall of each academic year. Help Promote your FAVORITE Band! There is a new page on the site - "The Store" - where you can find out how to get new items to show the world who's your favorite Big Band! Any profits generated from sale of these items or future items will go directly to the band. CHECK IT OUT! |
