"Bob-Omb Battlefield" Big Band Score Study - *SHEET MUSIC AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD!*

[@afonsoalves7377]

OH yes. Finally. This is what the Internet was meant for.

[@retrograde_word]

I see someone has the same mind set

[@RaggedVentures]

Those off-sixteenths, though. Tight. You guys remind me of Gordon Goodwin's band with how precisely you do section stuff like that.

[@The8BitBigBand]

Thanks!! Those Gordon Goodwin charts I played in my high school band were a big influence on me, so hopefully this is my way of giving back the way he did with his charts to my musical vocabulary too!

[@ExtraLivesMusic]

Agreed.

[@sinfonian2013]

Yes!! Agreed.

[@joshualemieux7534]

To be honest, that's the only part I DONT like. I feel like starting them off the beat but reconciling back on the beat would've worked better... but then again I'm just a high school jazz band dude who never took it further 😂

[@KevinGamin]

@@The8BitBigBand I hope he's heard your work because I think he'd approve.

[@trunkotunes1438]

Nice! Now I just gotta learn 15 other instruments

[@amitlanis3104]

I was going to make a joke about everyone being able to play bass but this arrangement prove me so much wrong 😁

[@adamdavis1497]

Just get a synth instead 👌

[@LucinaMainALT]

Have you considered releasing anymore scores? I would love to try out your arrangement of Still Alive with one of the bands I'm in.

[@dipndipper]

Incredibly excited to play this for my high school jazz band this year. I’m on trumpet 1… hopefully i’m physically capable of playing it 😂

[@thaneegginton7161]

Legends! We need more of these videos out there for students, any aspiring musician/composer and all round video game music lovers. Brilliant of you to do so and brilliantly performed! My hat off to all of you.

[@ldcraig2006]

I see you're with the Guild, Thane. I think you'll find everything is quiet in Riften tonight. *wink*

[@PassTheSnails]

THIEF

[@Alkivo]

Yes! I can’t wait for you guys to upload the rest of the sheet music!

[@charlieschomp3184]

I'm just waiting for Still Alive tbh

[@parkfield7296]

Can we please take a moment to appreciate the tonewheel organ + leslie speaker that gives the B section of the melody a huge sense of openness?

[@bradleysampson8230]

How did you work out the licensing on this? I know this music is notoriously difficult to license.

[@coqdorysme]

That trumpet 8va up at the end... oh my LORD

[@classymofo1059]

I wish I was still in a band. This is some JUICY material. Props to you guys!

[@BucketheadsBucket]

Join one! Freshen up those chops and get in there!!! 😊

[@ldcraig2006]

I can't tell you how many DECADES it has been since my high school band classes, but I was still able to follow along with the music. Thanks for this! What fun!

[@PokeWaffles]

This arrangement has such huge Gordon Goodwin vibes and I am absolutely living for it

[@Childhassomeissues]

Omg I gotta play trumpet 1 on this piece for my school jazz party😭 never had to play high notes above the staff like this.

[@pukalo]

That bari part is phenomenal

[@ExtraLivesMusic]

Yo we're proud of our cover of this song, but THIS right here should be the gold standard.

[@natekite7532]

Yeah!!! This is awesome!!! I really hope to see your Yoshi's Island available for download some day; even if it isn't free, I know I'd pay for it!

[@chordalharmony]

This band doesn’t buy licenses for their stuff, so if it comes, it WILL be free. They mentioned this in their Q and A live-stream

[@natekite7532]

@@chordalharmony ah, good to know

[@herculesmwp7983]

Was following the bass part then, I freaked out for a bit with the key change. I had no idea that was there 🤣

[@Forotosh]

This arrangement is a masterpiece

[@homemadefilms5718]

I gave this to my school jazz band. The difficulty is just slightly above our combined skill, but I’m confident

[@zackw00]

hell yeah!! i've been wanting to get my hands on one of these scores for a long time, your arranging is a huge inspiration! thanks so much for this and all the work you put into making such wonderful music

[@freddy8513]

Thank you for sharing this !

[@bman3977]

Thank you thank you thank you! As a fan that’s been aching to play your music in my local big band, this is practically a dream come true! Thank you!

[@joezenta2548]

2:48 for the bari solo if anyone is interested

[@gabrielwidjaja856]

most underrated music channel on YT

[@sleepy-sheepy6517]

Oh my god. I arranged a version of bob-Omb battlefield based off your arrangement for my school’s jazz band, and it took me forever because you didn’t post the sheet music or anything for me to work off of so I had to arrange everything by ear. This video would’ve been so much help but now it’s too late

[@DrD4n]

This was already my absolut favorite cover of The Bob-omb Battlefield Theme. But to learn from this amazing arrangement by getting the sheet music is just like my birthday and christmas all together. Thank you soooo much!

Thank you so much for this! I run a community big band and this is definitely going in our repertoire!

im sending this to my band director asap

[@codydavis5525]

YESSSSSSS!!!! My college jazz band can play it now!

[@Gibsonxdsabee]

[@johnrieger]

I’m playing lead on this, (i’m a junior in highschool) I don’t want to say I’m screwed but, I’m screwed 😀

I can't believe you gave this for free. That is a sin, and I mean that in the best way possible 😦

hey I wonder if you can do "In a Moments Time" from Skullgirls 2nd Encore, i wonder how it'll sound

[@EthanGeye]

Or unfinished business

[@landenjohnson5328]

My high school jazz band is doing this, and I'm playing lead trumpet

[@The8BitBigBand]

fucking love that!!

[@sergeip2002]

Is this bassline playable on the upright bass? Or electric bass still fits on this music?

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

I would think yes, as a non-bassist. However, this is a funk arrangement, and to get that mid-last century feel, I'd totally recommend sticking to electric. You could say that the section from 90, when the rhythm section comes back in is appropriate for upright bass. Then again, I think it'd better to stick to electric just in case you or your ensemble's bassist does not have proper access to a double bass. Also, there isn't a double for that part.

[@francocerna4889]

Yesss!!!

[@eugenio1203]

So coooool!!

[@jasonzurlo1543]

Bro I just started transcribing this

The one dislike is King Bob-omb.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Ugh, this stupid virus coming along means the band won't probably be doing anything for a big while. Shame, there's no good Kirby big band arrangements anywhere. Jun Ishikawa and Hirozaku Ando's stuff is way too good to go uncovered by you guys!

This is the kind of video I wish I could give ten likes.

[@awesomesbone]

I have an arrangement question: I'm trying to write an arrangement of this song myself. I initially wondered if I should write it in 4/4 with swung 16ths, but in looking at most other arrangements and transcriptions of this song, it's written in cut time with swung 8ths. That seemed like it'd be easier to read, so I went with that. But now I'm seeing that your arrangement uses swung 16ths. Is there a reason why you chose to write it that way? Thank you!

[@The8BitBigBand]

Yeah I see people writing funk for big band in cut time but I never understood why. We’re feeling such a strong pulse in 4/4, and it would feel wrong to conduct in 2. Also, why be afraid of 16th notes everyone? They’re not that scary haha. Last but not least, cut time would be double the measures which would be double the page turns, double the paper, and double the formatting work! So in this genre and feel I choose 4/4

[@awesomesbone]

@@The8BitBigBand Thank you!!
