Blue Devils 2017 - Metamorph Full Score Transcription

[@magicfairycome]

press a to start 10:10

[@MiraDaWulf]

Literally sounds like a great video game lmfao

[@melanie-dh4yl]

What song is that called?

[@sierrameriedeth]

Mello part is why i came here

[@maestroramirez858]

4:52 is my favorite solo

[@Uchiha_Cat_]

6:09 also

[@jayenest1355]

Personally this has to be one of my favorite scores I’ve seen yet, some claim that part wasn’t credited but regardless, I still enjoy what you did and all the melody and especially putting most of the pit in there. Thank you for your time putting this together!

[@stephenowens5091]

2:00 euphonium chord sounds like baseball

[@stephenowens5091]

@ Nexus no the chord not the instrument

[@Le_Phishe]

Most accurate score of the 2017 blue devils yet. Good job Necrodavid. I noticed that listening to the snare cam and this, it doesn't have the hand clap during the flugelhorn solo.

[@kalebjames22]

Trombone Zach he can’t do that on MuseScore I don’t think

[@Le_Phishe]

He can but I think its in the "Body" instrument section

[@themichaelcycle8075]

Great job! My only complaint is the tenor solo was kind of funky, but that was probably a glitch or something. Otherwise good work!

[@retrorouge6]

It was a problem in musescore 2.0 and 2.1 and I think 2.2 but it's fixed now in 2.3

[@brendenkasprzyk]

lol the worst tenor solo of all time

[@fortnitebattlepass69.]

Goofy Gooferson I’m dying lol

[@littlemow]

FN_BigDadWill69 Just like the tenor player

[@justinjohnson4278]

Oh yeah I remember that it was the worst, like the notes played 1 higher than they were supposed to and some just straight up didn't make sound

[@sabrestormy4056]

I hate cymbal rolls on muse score

[@davidwang_music]

True, the crescendos doesn't work at all and they are still not fixed in Musescore 3

[@justinjohnson4278]

@@davidwang_music yeah like you have to put the individual dynamics all along it but if you're crescendoing a single whole note just forget it

[@davidwang_music]

@@justinjohnson4278 I did the crescendo on a separate staff on multiple short notes rather than one long note, and then hid this staff, and mute the one long note on the staff that is visible.

[@isaacvasquez3915]

@@davidwang_music can you do a tutorial on how to make suspended cymbal rolls? I've been trying to add them on my own scores but it's not working for me.

[@davidwang_music]

@@isaacvasquez3915 Add a separate cymbal staff, then in the mixer, change the sound to "standard". Then, notate your cymbal rolls on your original staff normally, then select these notes, and uncheck "play" in the inspector, this will mute your normal notation. In the separate staff, notate cymbal rolls with individual notes instead of tremolo, after you done that, go into instruments, and uncheck "visible" for that staff, this will hide the separate staff. So basically your normal notation is what you see, but the separate staff will be what you hear.

[@ZOMBEY-KILLUR]

love the quote at 6:12 it is required if you want to learn this part

[@muytreschic2835]

what does it say; I'm watching this on a little iPhone 💀

[@ZOMBEY-KILLUR]

@@muytreschic2835 “oh, hmmm. Yes quite!” It’s a quote from the headcam videos. You can find it, it’s literally the first one

[@roryhemmings7860]

Amazing! especially the pit parts, Perfectly transcribed

[@mattlane3501]

pit parts were off a lot

[@TuX-fw4ve]

And the snare transcription was a little rough especially the snare break after the mallets solo

[@spike6192]

At the beginning of the measure where the fugelhorn is, the drum set player snaps the cymbal with his fingers and it makes the best noise. Just to let you know you forgot that part Edit: oh darn im blushing

[@eeyin_]

well he was fixing the mic that fell off one of his toms so thats why he snapped it. He said this in a reply to a comment on the head cam vid

[@yochran4974]

ian_ actually, if you watch the drum major cam (cc wagoner) he snaps the cymbal without having to fix the microphone. He does it for fun

[@Uchiha_Cat_]

6:09 favorite solo fluegelhorn and trumpet sound amazing

[@Iplayquad]

Ah the broken quads in the old version, your Drum set parts sound spot on btw, amazing job!

[@32-bitlogan41]

I like how you put fix the microphone on the kit score.

[@retrorouge6]

did u notice the "lyrics" on the tenors

[@zacharyhudson6202]

😂😂😂😂 that’s funny

[@SaneTheBro]

@@zacharyhudson6202 did you have to fix the microphone every run or just the one you recorded as a headcam that got uploaded?

[@zacharyhudson6202]

@@SaneTheBro no I think I accidentally hit the mic with my stick earlier in the show and the whole time after that I was looking for a pause long enough to put it back on.

[@SaneTheBro]

@@zacharyhudson6202 also how accurate was the transcription of your part in this video? if you can even think back that far to remember

[@calebjsmith727]

9:50👌👌

[@YuFanMei]

Ahh, the mellophone solo is finally given justice

[@evanknudsen3223]

Personally I dont like how loud the percussion is because it makes it a bit harder to hear some nice hornline stuff but a really good score all round

[@lampfactory8823]

3:20 oof tenor feature be gone 101

[@ZOMBEY-KILLUR]

That quad feature tho

[@matthewlane291]

This is prolly the best transcription even tho it's not completely accurate it's still great

[@kj_m14]

11:45 Concord Blue Devils

[@officialnovadrome]

*Concord Blue Devils :)

[@kj_m14]

@@officialnovadrome I know, the actual show says "concept: blue devils" before the big ending.

[@officialnovadrome]

@@kj_m14 No, the actual show says "Concord, Blue Devils" because that is their corps and that was from their first performance in DCI in 1973.

[@kulmac3809]

-OfficialNoVADrome- I thought it was Concord because that’s the city they’re based in

[@kj_m14]

@@officialnovadrome I know it's kinda late, but after listening to the show again, I do finally realize that I was mishearing the sample and it does actually say Concord, not concept. I stand corrected, my bad

[@jorgecuellar4039]

10:11 sounds like it came from the donkey Kong game

[@MiraDaWulf]

Sounds like cuphead

[@ratvaporizer1]

rip the tenor break :,(

[@nitsujsgneem5139]

When the vibraphone turns into wind chimes and a drum set

[@scorestranscribed2071]

Awesome job on everything melodic! But as Brian mentioned earlier it seems like the guy you got the battery parts from directly ripped it off of our score, which we got help from various sources (credited). Like the opening snare feature had 4 parts but we decided to condense it to just 3, which is oddly mirrored here too..

[@bryancriswell]

Scores Transcribed it’s also worth pointing out that the one thing that I haven’t transcribed was the closer which, as you can see, isn’t here haha

[@davidwang_music]

I am not the one who transcribed the battery, legoj14 transcribed the battery and let me use it, I am not sure where did he get it from so that might be the case.

[@frenchtoast1759]

At 9:12 that top note is supposed to be an A, not a B

[@Austin0000]

I started playing a long on my mello at 6:34 and I felt as if I was truley there it felt so fun.

[@AceProductions02]

SAME

[@okey7261]

Where's the battery at the end?

[@charliekirby_]

So where's drums 1 2 3 and the Spocks on the tenors ?😂😂

[@sushirolldotexe5693]

I like this transcription it’s on point but I wish you made the drum set louder

[@sceu25]

tf happened to the tenor solo

[@gavingriffith6016]

it was cool but why did the battery disappear at the end 😂

[@H4L0.Z]

This is like Zelda boss fight music bro istg. Its so good

[@calixcosgrove3437]

How did you nail the synthesizer gliss so well? I can't seem to get them to work that well

Use multiple pitch bends instead of an actual gliss

At 9:50 what is that song called?? I’ve been trying to figure out what it’s called.

[@alexmusicweeks]

Look up the video of them playing it in the lot. There’s a comment linking to the original video. It’s some Jewish kid’s tune

[@ItzEnder27]

he forgot to fix the tenors snd the snare feature is the old version

Go to the link in the description, download the score and extract parts

NecroDavid I was hoping there was a better way, as it costs money to do so. I still may end up downloading it anyways someday!

@@sorsorscience0787 No, MuseScore is a completely free software, so don't worry.

NecroDavid Thanks for responding! I looked into it, and as it turns out MuseScore recently changed so that printing and downloading is only available to “pro subscription members” in order to account for royalty and copyright fees. Strange!

I recommend using MDL for battery

The score was made before MDL was discovered. Since the 2018 transcription, every battery part is now MDL.
