Santa Clara Vanguard 2018 "Babylon" | Complete Brass Score Transcription 

99% of this transcription was spent on making the mello line perfect.

6:45 arguably one of most incredible mello sequences in dci

7:29 they say if you go to a Colts game to this day, you can still hear the mello sustain

5:10 is the best moment in the show imo

6:38 best dci mello sequence of all time

This is actually pretty darn close man good job

Actually one of the best transcriptions of any show I’ve ever listened too.

God like mello line and even more god like arranging

lmao, the dance feature XD

6:44-7:22 sounds like a drum corps show John Williams would write. Holy hell is there some elements of ET, Star Wars and even Jurassic Park in there! Favorite part of the show too I might add

Join my Discord server! discord.gg/m5292WcBgV Congrats to the 2018 World Champs! Hey everyone! I wanted to get this video out earlier, but I've been busy as of late. Hope you enjoy! One quick question though: once I have all of the percussion parts for this done, should I post all of the parts in one big video or should I post them into separate videos (only brass visible/only battery visible/etc.)? And don't forget that the full score with percussion is on musescore!

5:27 is such a beautiful moment along with the AMAZING HORN SNAP OMG 12/10

5:15 click

1:55 - 3:30 is my favorite part of the show! The music is outstanding!!

The thing I liked most about Babylon was the show didn’t necessarily focus on the trumpet section as much as the rest of the corps. Especially the mello and baritone lines, who both have amazing parts as far as the horns go. What an amazing show that deserved the 2018 championship!

My favorite DCI show put onto paper, well done.

Pretty great job. Not perfect, but hey you did by ear man! That is insane! Again, great job and thank you!

So so goooood ahhh. I have heard and seen this show countless times on video and it gets me every time. Unfortunately, I never got to watch it live

Unpopular opinion but for me the best part of the show is the closer

If you're ever on the market for an older show to transcribe, take a shot at Blue Devils 2011! Personal favorite show with amazing music.

the mello part in the closer is so beautiful

It's writing like this that deserves a championship win

Great work!

I love that d♭dim7 in the opener

Outstanding! Thank you!

Jim ott bro nice.

HOW THE HELL DO THE BARITONES HIT THAT HIGH G/A OH MY LORD, I CANT EVEN DREAM OF HITTING THAT

Love this show so many... Mello

Bravo!

they have the same closer as our last years marching show- flower mound high school band fractured moments

This is beautiful 😥

this is so amazing & a necessity

Nice

2:49

came here for 3:55

5:30 You’re welcome

I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS MOMENT! HAHA

At 1:29 the other horns (not sure about tubas) have half notes instead of whole notes). I know this is 4 years since this transcription was made but ye. Other than that, the transcription is amazing

Could you please, please do a marimba transcription?

I will cry if you release a full battery transcription

and in measure 160 the mellophones take the C up an octave

That DA-DA-DA-DA sequence at the beginning sounded like a cowbell to me, but you probably right to have that in this because I’m no genius

Sure hope you do this for SCV 2019. I believe It's even more insane than this one!

are you ever going to do blue devils 2018

let’s collab

Do one for the Crossmen please!

The range on those baritones are crazy, I can barely squeak a double f poorly let alone a double g on a large shank Yamaha 😫

Can you do 2018 Spirit of Atlanta Knock please?

any reason why 1:47 has a C flat instead of just a B? in the mello part that is

how do i snap in Bb

I could help transcribe some of the marimba parts if you are down?

Could you possibly add the horn snap at 515? I know it's a transcription but just how they implemented it into the show. It made the show for me that click from the entire hornline followed by the amazing hit. Please add it lol I will love you forever

During the Metropolis closer, the 3rd and 4th set of rips that go from C to G (3rd) and C to G/C F# (4th) is wrong (at least from what I think after watching the mello cam like 18 trillion times😅). I pretty sure it's just 3 notes, E to G (3rd) and Eb to G/F# (4th). They aren't as big as the 1st and 2nds rips.

It bothers me double g isn't written for the trumpets in the final chord

Although this brass is incredibly talented I love crown brass for the musical aspect of what they play. Something about this makes me feel it’s all over the place.

Tubas have that run at the beginning too, believe it or not.

Y’all gave the mellos the opening baritone feature in the second movement :(

Can you do Crown next please?

Nobody talking about 5:47 that part in finals was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

6:39

1:21

I’m pretty sure measure 9 is supposed to be a measure of 7/8, but I might be wrong on that. Killer job tho!

metropolis 1927 1-15

5:16 is the moment you're looking for

Just an fyi, maybe this will help you fix a problem (not with the transcription the transcription is great!) When i go to download with individual parts it says theres an error with the key thats keeping it from working

you missed the high C at the end of the section at 3:32 :(

3:03 to 3:31 ... yes

Boston crusaders 2018 anyone?🤔

All the brass parts are in the same key?

dang missed so many mello high C's... but overall amazing

measure 94 in the mello part is what the bari's should have

The Mello sustain part is wrong time signature wise but overall this is great

Why name the show "Babylon" if they're not going to include the David Gray single. Such deception! 😜

What program is this?

can you send me just the mello parts? If you can let me know and I’ll give you my email

Synthesia?!

You'll get better eventually. Keep working at it.

5:26 that trumpet part makes me cry tears of joy
