@M3ssageT4k3n Santa Clara Vanguard did Phantom of the Opera 2 years in a row. Doesn't matter. And I'm pretty sure Cadets didn't do that show anyway...just Banished, kinda...
Just listened to the revision link. This is one of the most beautifully scored Disney films of all time and you did great with it
I know it's hard to do with software, but I'd want the closing portion from the ~9:15 mark to ~10:00 to be more rubato and lead into the dramatic finish (Simba scaling Pride Rock ... sorry, don't remember the tune name offhand).
Otherwise, this sounds incredible and gives me the same chills I feel when I watch the film.
YES!!!! Omgosh, that was so insane! I can tell you already that if word gets out about that, that more drummers are going to see this and flip off the walls. That ending literally just made my year...too bad it is going to end though XD
But in all seriousness, that was really cool. Fantastic job adding in Banished Beyond. I wouldn't be surprised if he made a respond video to you ;)
Thank you so much for your geniusness in arranging XD
Good job. Funny, I actually had this idea awhile ago and my corps mates shot it down. I can see why now. I liked the intro and you had some tasty battery licks in there, but after the show just nose dive for me. Personally I would've not done the cheesy Disney songs like Just Can't wait to Be King and Hakuna Matata and included a little more of Hans Zimmer's music. Liked the work you did with Be Prepared but the tempo could be faster and added a salsa character to it. But otherwise good job.
@trumpetfruzia I tried to balance Hans Zimmer with the classic tunes that everyone knows, but yeah, I know what you mean. And I did speed up Be Prepared in a recent revision of mine; however, I'm not sure how a salsa character could really fit. Thanks for your comments!
Nice job! I thought the solo around 6:50 could be turned into a duet. You have a lot of solos in here, but not a lot of duets. Just a thought! Otherwise, good work.
overall nneds more dynamics. drum corps is ALL about dynamics. you know that beautiful softness and then turning around and blowing your face off with a FFF impact. and i get its hard to have alot of dynamic variety on finale i write myself. but good overall
I think you did a really good job with the whole thing as a whole. Now, I do have to be honest, I don't think I heard the "Banished Beyond Lion king drumline" part in there. Not saying that is a bad thing or anything, but that would be freaking AMAZING if was incorporated in there.
;)
But that's just me and all the other drumline peoples out there. But fantastic job!
If you made this on like a music writing program can you print me off the battery score by any chance? I'd love to record this and possibly help with anything that's shaky, but this sounds freaking amazing! Nice work!
@KRTHclassicalIMSLP I don't think I want to sell this, and I don't know if I can legally sell it either, haha. But if you're still interested, contact me.
I really like a lot of the writing. I just adore the entire horn book, and everything you did with the pit worked really well (pit is not my area of knowledge, so it would be unfair to comment on it). However, a lot of the writing (especially in the opener) for the battery sounded very similar and became a little tedious, especially as the show wore on. Make sure to add plenty of contrast in the kinds of rhythms you use. Make it musical. (:
@suazobomber I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. I used Sibelius 6 and the sounds that came with Sibelius (plus some Virtual Drumline samples).
@sarburst2501 Since I'm considering rewriting the show, I'm not going to post the sheet music. Sorry.. if you want a specific part, I may be able to send it to you.
@jolivermn I'd love to help you with the percussion through the whole thing if you'd let me. It's got a solid foundation, but could use a little more work.
In specifics, I have the full Tapspace Virtual Drumline, along with Cubase. I could give the battery a whole new sound (it's what Banished Beyond used at the end), without losing any of the current parts.
@jolivermn god dammit where the lion king lick comes in in the revised version is WRVBJNWERBJNAOPFKNMGBPAOENJFGBOPNMAQERP;OMAQPWR;JNGQKLNJEIKPNJAQERPBJNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This is a very solid show! I really like the pieces you choose and how you decided to put them together. However, just a couple things: there was definitely some incorrect pitches in a couple of the softer spots in the beginning of each new selection of music. Your percussion parts were spectacular though! (And before you wonder, who am I to say that, I have marched for 14 seasons in various ensembles including a DCI and DCA Corps and high school and college marching bands.)
@uchisted11 Please note that this an arrangement, which means each note doesn't have to be their verbatim. As far as the the beginning of the each song those are modulations into the new song. You're probably hearing a funky key change in there.
the cadets um... already did this...

The interaction of the voices is awesome, but the I think that there could have been more going on in the battery and more dynamic contrast.
Consider shortening the intro, and instead of keeping the songs square, get some counterpoint going on with melodic lines from different songs.
