you are a saint my guy

I will get around to it don’t worry!

@@Corpsiology thank you🙏🙏🙏

hey thanks man!

i think your right! thanks for the support and feedback man! truly appreciate it!

??

@@bvssmouq6gamingofficialyt you might be right but i interpreted it as she was conducting half time where one city’s is worth 3 beats. it could be written as quarter notes though you are right!

@@Corpsiology The tempo there is still 184 but its in a one feel so it is dotted half notes

@@lobsterpokemon1376 yes sorry thats what i was trying to say thank you!

@@closersdci okay i will look into it!

@@DaveSmith_ hey man love your vids! please go for it. i would love to see how we do it differently!

@@Corpsiology awesome feel free to do the same for shows I’ve done

ill warn you that theres actually 3 mello parts when you transcribe

@@DaveSmith_ sweet thanks so much!

thank you!

I heard it too. I though it was a synth or a sound effect I could be wrong tho. Thanks for pointing that out!

there was indeed a dub g

hey thanks for your feedback i truly appreciate it. This was kind of made in a rush and I am still learning music notation. If you take a look at some of my other work I hope its better. I am also working on a bigger project where notation is one of the focuses. Thank you for your feedback! I try to take any criticism and learn from it! Thank you!

You can do a staccato on a half note. It’s not normally used, but staccato only means that the note is separated from the next note.

@KlldbyCuriosity That wouldn't be a very helpful way of notating it. The thing with notation is that you want to answer as many questions with the notation as is possible. The problem with a staccato half-note is that the tempo does not justify it, and it can cause confusion to a reader. A staccato mark by definition does not mean the note is separated from the next. No articulation or slur at all (or, in more drastically separated notes, a breath mark) will deliver this information. With a staccato half note, the note duration doesn't reflect the articulation, and you end up with a musician unsure of what the composer is asking of them. You COULD write a staccato half-note, but that does not in any way mean you should, as it only serves to create confusion where confusion shouldn't be created. The biggest rule of notation is answering any questions that may come up. Notation is not the space for vagueness or lack of clarity, if you get me.

@@UnknownSpooky You don’t need to talk down to me, I’m a composer. And yes, a staccato is used for a full separation, no articulation is a connected note with a regular articulation. If you were writing for strings and have two half notes and no articulation marking in 4/4, would you expect the string player to lift their bow between them? No, it stays connected even though they’d bow in the other direction. It is not a normal notation, but it isn’t *wrong* to have a staccato half note.

@KlldbyCuriosity I apologize if it seemed as though I was talking down to you. I know i tend to speak very matter-of-factly, and that that can come off as rude. All I ask is that you refrain from accusing me of such a thing when there is no way I would know immediately that you are a composer. Please know that I am not intending my words to come off as talking down to you. I am a composer myself, and I have very much been a stickler for proper notation. As far as the bowing analogy is concerned, string notation is very different from that of wind and percussion instruments. I won't assume where you were educated, as composition educators' methodologies will differ wildly. As for myself, I was taught that ambiguous notation, such as a staccato half-note, is very much something to be avoided. A staccato marking, in my mind, will generally always mean that the note is to be played short. How short is inherently ambiguous, but on a longer note duration, such as a half note, it can easily lead to the player not being certain how exactly long the note is intended to be. The way I learned (and the way I feel) is that note durations should accurately reflect the sound the composer/arranger is looking for, and the way the staccato half note in this notation reads to me, as a musician as well as a composer, is that the note is to be played as a half note with its duration cut arbitrarily short. This definition of the notation I find very unhelpful, as it creates that sense of ambiguity that really needs to be avoided, especially in a context as hyper-particular as drum corps. Technically, of course it is not at all wrong to notate this, but contextually, it ought to be avoided, if you ask me. The notation should always reflect the music as accurately as it can, in both metrics and feel.

@@MarchingVlogs hey thanks for asking! sure go for it just if you can, please give credit! thank you so much!

Dude is high D note high to you? You can’t expect every player to be playing double Gs😭

so the F around the 2:20 mark is extremely easy, doing drill and all? Nice I wonder where you're from

NERD🤓

It’s not about range but whether or not you can play what’s on paper and they did so who cares

i think you’re right about measure 16 i just hear f to e flat in 14 tho. i could be wrong too so idk but thank you for the feedback i appreciate it!

That's funny!

okay thank you! it was kinda hard to hear them over the blaring baris 😂

There definitely is a Db. That’s part of what’s giving it that intense feel due to it not being fully resolved down to the low b flat

It’s just a minor chord

out of tune? brotha its the minor 3rd

@@thepixelknights5403Yeah, there’s a Db, just not at that octave. The Db is in the LB1 part an octave higher than LB3. The last low brass chord should be scored like it is on beat one of bar 3.

@@imag1n342At that partial, yeah, it’d be out of tune and sound really horrible. Ever heard of tuning tendencies? The secret to good low brass scoring is keeping thirds above Bb4 as much as possible. Look up the harmonic overtone series if you aren’t familiar. You should never have the tuba and LB3 part less than a perfect fifth apart. More often than not the color tone is in the 1st low brass part while 2nd and 3rd cover the root and fifth. The rest of the transcription is great! Just pointing out something you’d never see a top DCI arranger do.

yo i was at the SA show too

hey man thanks a lot! huge fan of your content and one of the reasons i started to transcribe! also, thank you for the advice, do you have any suggestions on how to get other recordings for these types of videos?

​@@CorpsiologyI don't really have a specific way to get these types of recordings, but in order to stay away from copyright I'll do either of these 2 things 1. If there is an angle of a show such as the one you've used for this bd vid, it will be ok to use as long as you credit the orignal poster. 2. If ppl are asking you for a transcription of something and the only recording available is an official recording, that is where I make the transcription and post the score itself rather than overlaying it with the video. An example of that is my phantom regiment 2024 opener transcription. Another thing to just watch out for that isn't really talked about too much is during early season for dci, hold off on using any recordings for your videos. Many corps want to keep their show disclosed in that part of the season and they will not hesitate to take the video down regardless for what purpose it was posted for. Bd, Boston, crown, and sometimes bloo are the quickest to take action when a leak appears. The same also applies to certain hs bands during early season such as Hebron, Flower Mound, Avon, Carmel, Marcus, Broken Arrow, and some leander ISD schools. I happen to know all of this bc I had to learn it the hard way 😅. Hope this helps!

@@therealnocommonsenseit did thank you a lot!

This is NCS approved content

​@@AmealYTquality is hard to come by these days

thank you man much appreciated!

I'll look into it!

It’s a synthesizer

Front ensemble

@@Roentgium yes but the rapid pulsing.... that's not brass instruments. That sounds like something that's been studio recorded, spliced then this DJ effect added to it

@@somebody9033 once again it’s a synthesizer lol

@@user-vj3ch2ym2s i was replying to the other comment that said "front ensemble".
