Turner-Passport (SP)-B/V/1-2M/4T/P

Using common band room instruments, Passport by Josh Turner provides an engaging challenge for an older middle-school or a younger high-school percussion octet. Each player will require a strong sense of rhythm and dynamic expression to bring this musical journey to life. Flowing melody, lush textures, and driving rhythms make this piece a great addition to any concert.
