Whistling tubes

Picture

This piece uses several extra "performers" surrounding the audience twirling whistling tubes.  These performers can be guests such as local students, board members, or dignitaries.

The tubes are available from toy stores and online retailers like Amazon.  A Google search for "whistling tubes" should locate them.
