Carolina Crown 2016: Relentless Brass Score Transcription

This is my brass transcription of Carolina Crown's 2016 show, Relentless. I put it together by ear from several videos available across KZbin (thanks to Vic Firth's Learn The Music series for saving me time on the counts for the percussion feature in Journey, and IMMENSE thanks to Jeremy Cover's Bari 1 head cam video). I know it's far from perfect, but it's fun. So if you see or hear something that's wrong, feel free to let me know!
Make sure to support Crown and all the other corps out there, and I hope you enjoy!

Bluecoats may have won, but carolina is something special this year

[@blooeagle5118]

Best brass sound of the year, for me. I saw Bloo, BD, Cavies, Phantom and Crown and easily, Crown had the best sound out of them all. There is no question about it.

[@charliemercier5763]

Wow! This is really close to the actual music! There are a few simple things off, fairly easy parts, but all of the crazy brass stuff is fairly accurate. Well done!

[@FullStripe97]

Pretty accurate! super cool to see!

[@zachfrancis7872]

My biggest regret in life is that I wasn't in this show

[@allietolman6703]

I love the fact you do transcriptions. Gives other arrangers the opportunity to compare their skills.

[@MintHill58]

Wow this was seriously amazing! I haven't seen the actual thing but this sounds incredibly accurate!!

[@KarlPreisner]

Very close! Nice job! This is incredibly impressive. If you want to know what the correct notes are let me know!

[@ioannium]

I'd love a chance to compare to the actual book, if only to see where I need to listen better!

[@Aaron5ash]

Yeah.... That book was awesome!

[@scottulrich4134]

Very nicely done man!

[@JoshuaLeyda]

Great transcription! Keep up the good work.

[@ioannium]

Been doing it on-and-off since 2005, but this is my first full show. You keep up the good work too!

[@hooviedoovie5220]

the tuba instructor for thunder this year got a call back to crown but bought a tuba instead and instructed for us.

[@squirtlerocks24]

omg if you made a transcript for the cadets 2016 show awakening i will be deceased

[@sebastianmorris4316]

Is there anyway to get this Brass Sample Library: System Blue/Sample Logic Fanfare for free anywhere? This videos sound was amazing! Mad props to you dude

[@ioannium]

Not for free, but it's definitely worth the investment if you arrange for corps or marching band, and it's a relative steal compared to what you'll get paid for arranging a show.

[@sebastianmorris4316]

+Ioannes Martinus Awesome, Thanks!

[@MiraDaWulf]

Ioannes Martinus Any tips for arranging shows? I’m thinking of getting into it semi-professionally, and i definitely dont know where to start

[@sebastianmacias2431]

is it possible that I could receive a copy of this recording?

[@canadiantypical4769]

Hey! Thank you so much for making this! What program did you use to make this?

[@ioannium]

Finale 2014 with the listed sample libraries (in the video info), and just your average screen capture software.

[@stephh4495]

Nice! What program is this? I like that it actually considers dynamic changes on a sitting note, unlike Musescore.

[@ioannium]

This is Finale 2014.

[@ZonalYewHD]

I know this is a bit late, but I think the first two measures on page 6 in movement 5 should be triplets. I heard Matt Harloff refer to it as triple tonguing (tongueing?) in a warmup video and it sounded like just three notes to me

[@ioannium]

I'm 99.9% certain they're sixteenths. If you can find the clip, though, let me know.

[@camilleon352]

What sample libraries do you use?

[@aidanbuesing956]

This is absolutely great! Only thing is that the Trombone feature in El Tango De Roxane doesn't really work. But nicely done

[@aidanbuesing956]

Probably due to the software though. Looks right in score

[@ioannium]

Yeah. It's a software/sample library issue. I should have gone with Finale's built-in Garritan for the solo, but I wanted to keep the brass coming from one place.

[@Ronnie99104]

Aidan Buesing its close though

[@griffingarner5609]

Please do bd 2011

[@Blk.tank.1k]

Just add a little more reverb and omg this would be great

[@WheeljacksScoreVideos]

I could transcribe the snare part in for you if you wanted.

[@Jon-kx3ut]

At 9:11 for trumpet shouldn’t that be E natural instead of flat?

[@ioannium]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5fRm4yslLeFq80 Nope.

[@shelbycamp9259]

Is Journey the actually name of the 2nd song?

[@ioannium]

It's what I heard in the calls to reset in several of the clips I used for transcribing, so probably?

[@trevorhunt8487]

i like how it actually gets quiet unlike the show p=f

[@Mellow-mq8sf]

You left out the rest of the trombone solo... how dare you...

[@Mellow-mq8sf]

No trombone solo

[@ioannium]

It's there, just not very high in the mix because the samples don't do well with glissandi, so it would have it sound terrible. But you can plainly see the solo on the bottom line of the score if you look
