Blue Devils 2017 Marimba - Learn The Music

[@spike6192]

This is probably the blue devils' best piece of music ever

[@ronald6838]

What about the 99.65?

Yeah. What about Felliniesque? (The 99.65)

incredible. the devils have always had genius front ensemble writing

[@foosington]

The ballad at 4:56 is so lovely

[@cavalier36]

If this was the last run before finals (and I think it was) does that mean that Javi (the trumpet soloist during the ballad) blew out the amp that he was mic’ed to? If so... that’s some serious skill

[@justenwilliams8379]

SamTheTrumpetMan Yeah it was out around 7:40

[@cavalier36]

Justen Williams yeah during the high A in the ballad

[@clarkfitzgerald8814]

I think this was a separate run than the one in his headcam. The A doesn't perfectly cut and then doesn't reenter perfectly. You can hear him re-initiate the note

[@YBNmadman]

I wonder if the head brass of the blue devils (no punn intended) were mad at him or not because i mean he blow out an amp which means they have to get a new one and right before a finals run through but at the same time it takes a lot of skill and force on the amp to blow it out

[@sackofwetmice428]

Sorry for late reply, but it is not so much as Javi's skill blowing out the speaker (no doubt he is an extremely high skilled player) but the sound tech having his levels too high for said movement. This could have been caused by a modification of sound/distributing said levels (high, low, mid, attack, bass, treble) and might have any one of those levels too high.

[@tiffanymason7805]

i am so obsessed with this. thank you for posting the music as well!

[@johnnydasuper]

It's about time someone came out with this 😂 the new show is already released

[@rayofsunshine6300]

Been spending hours everyday building up my chops. I’m hoping to be able to play all this soon. 😅❤️

[@christophersonlevi]

I really want to learn this but being a sophomore in highschool it may be a little out of reach. maybe in a few years

[@mb2268]

Doesn’t mean you still can’t try 😏

[@averyrobinson4666]

go for it

[@sackofwetmice428]

I learned the scv 2018 opener as a sophomore. Of course it took about 2 1/2 months of nearly constant work, but it was worth the time, because my growth as a mr I’m ist became exponential while learning the piece.

[@christophersonlevi]

@@sackofwetmice428 dude that's awesome, doubt I have that commitment tho 😂

[@dhdjdndnlavadip7114]

If you really want to learn this, the best way I found to learn fast music is to significantly slow down the tempo and try to get sections of the music up to speed as you learn them

[@johnpennington991]

This is amazing. Can anyone direct me as to how to create the music in this transparent way?

[@davidwang_music]

I use Adobe Premiere, you simply just set the opacity of the music to a certain level you want

[@johnpennington991]

@@davidwang_music Thank you so much. The Finale file is converted to PDF and then exported to Adobe?

[@davidwang_music]

@@johnpennington991 I just use snipping tool to capture each line

AMAZING!!

[@Moserboy12]

You should do one of these for babylon

[@ethanol3800]

NO!!!

[@PugCuber]

Melanie Coyle why? There’s nothing wrong with him doing one for Babylon. Is there? (If there is, you’re biased towards the Blue Devils being better)

[@Iplayquad]

@@ethanol3800 jesus calm down.. whats your deal

[@abbylewis8336]

He can’t because he is showing his camera from his blue devils 2017 and if he didn’t March Santa Clara vanguard in 2018 he can’t

Why when he's doing singles it's written as doubles in the two clefts?

How long did this take?

[@davidwang_music]

Rafael Feliciano I did the marimba transcription with the full score, it took me a few months to do the full score, but I am not working continuously. And, of course, the battery is still incomplete.

[@justinstaska1491]

I've been working on transcribing the rest of the battery and drumset for Metamorph, if you'd like I could give the music to you when I'm done

[@davidwang_music]

legoj14 Yeah sure, I just need battery, I will do drum set my self.

[@calebsmith601]

NecroDavid hey, I'm your 50th subscriber. But I will seriously love it if you did the drumset score. You would be my hero
