Santa Clara Vanguard 2018 - Babylon - Baritone Duet

[@d.o.a.c85]

The first soloist was a marching tech at my high school last year, incredibly lucky to have the guy.

I get chills every time I listen to this show...

[@bubby-fi9mc]

It's so beautiful, I just wish they put them smack dab next to a big microphone so you could hear them better... other than that, yeah, some of the best euph playing I've heard ever

[@TylerDunphy]

Absolutely love this duet

[@ryanr3454]

Best video I’ve seen of it yet thank you

[@Theafronurse]

The trumpets they scared me when they came in good job guYs

[@zooniba]

Measure 22 and 23 is definitely not played by the same person

[@Dsol777]

It's so annoying how everyone transcribes it that way.

@@Dsol777 im gonna fix it rn, give me a 24hrs😤

[@popeyesailor9571]

I still have the voice memo of this at the Sacramento show on my phone and it comes up regularly in music playback

[@nickjcast]

Measure 18, player 1 plays the first Bb then player 2 takes over until measure 20. And 23 isn’t the same person as some have already mentioned

[@271epicgroup]

Thank you!!!! Great vid

[@jovan0454]

there seem to be some weird audio issues and I'm not sure what they're from...

[@lukerobinson2620]

Love the show, but ive never seen someone transcribe this duet right lmfao

[@seymour_as2498]

What part isn’t right?

[@tyronium2]

@@seymour_as2498some rhythms are wrong and some of the music is on the wrong part, notably the rip to the high A followed by those triplets in the second part sheet music when it's clearly the first guy who does that rip and the second takes over at the triplets

[@thetreejet6149]

I want to learn this but my chops are gonna die.

[@breezy4856]

How do you practice to help yourself play this high?

[@BlueEuph]

Lip slurs, fundamentals! Range excercise.

[@shep7544]

I rank the notes I can play into 4 tiers: The ones I can hit every time, ones I can hit the majority of the time, ones I can sometimes hit, and notes completely above my range. I try to bring in as many notes to the 1st tier as possible before I start working on expanding upwards. I find that sounding good on somewhat high notes makes it MUCH easier to start hitting notes above your range. As for actual exercises, I focus mainly on long tones and lip slurs. I'm sure you can find others online. Hope this helps!

[@TheVortex808]

Also work on the lower registers. The higher registers take just as much air support as the lower ones. Also learn to push more air faster but still keeping it controlled and consistent

[@takigan]

If you're a trombone/euphonium player and you've ever played tuba for longer than 30 minutes it's more likely than not that you will notice you get lightheaded really easily. But tuba players who've been playing for a year or 2 don't get lightheaded...because their bodies have adjusted to the amount of air that's required to play the tuba. My point is most Euphonium players who think they're using enough air.....aren't. Some of the most capable high range Euphonium players I know switched over from Tuba. But they didn't have that high range capability right out of the gate...they still had to teach their lips how to function in that range...but once they did, those tuba lungs kicked into gear and really allowed them to reach into the stratosphere. High Range is a combination of breath management and fine motor control in the aperture. "Lip Strength" *is* a part of it, but it's actually a pretty minor part in the grand scheme of things. You don't build high range by simply building lip strength, that's a common misconception.

[@cynatic6587]

@@takigan so then what can i do?

[@ajv5811]

pretty accurate but im pretty sure 23 isnt the same person

[@griffin8er845]

That and after that happens at 23 it appears everything is backwards besides the last three measures

[@nannyg666]

Easily a top 5 show since the year 2000 (which is more of a condemnation of modern so-called drum corps that it is praise for SCV, but nevertheless, it was a great show).

[@camilodelvillar6860]

at 14 I wouldve added a poco accelerando, but damn some ears whoever transcribed this has.

I'm the best baritone in my school and I can't play that high

[@neal0071234able]

Wish this was treble ..never liked bass clef

[@uvn6210]

Nah tenor clef is where it’s at

[@johnny129]

the alto clef is actually superior

[@williamlamar6770]

What baritone player prefers treble….

[@neal0071234able]

@@williamlamar6770 I played trumpet 5 years before switching.. My issue with bass clef was notes floating constantly over staff lines .. Its strange when your not even playing high notes.. And it seemed more difficult to read so id rather rewrite music to treble so Its something I can already read comfortably..

[@saltypopcorn250]

nah, obviously the neutral clef is superior

[@somethingabstractiguess]

Rhythms are all over the place….can you even count?
