£44.00Honor Bound
Honor Bound is to be obligated by one's own code of conduct to do what is ethically right. This is often referenced in the military, but applies equally to our everyday conduct. This traditional military style march represents the dignity and worth of the individual. This is accomplished by featuring all sections at some point: a percussion introduction and interlude, trumpet fanfare, low brass melody, and woodwind lead. The notated dynamics are essential for musical contrast and the tempo can be adjusted according to student skill levels. Perfect to teach march form, this composition is also suitable for patriotic celebrations or as a last-minute selection for more advanced bands.

This exciting piece for younger players also features a short percussion break that allows the section shine. Program this for easy success at contest or for an entertaining concert selection.
