"SUPERNOVA" - An Original Marching Band Show

SUPERNOVA tells the story of a great and lonely star who ran out of elements, causing a large explosion. The aftermath of the blast forms a breathtaking nebula, proving that the star still retains its power and beauty despite its new form.
Featuring the musical selections:
"Top Gun Anthem" by Harold Faltermeyer
"Scramble" by Todd Stalter
"The Witch and The Saint" by Steven Reineke
And original music by Bennett Mercurio
Composed by Bennett Mercurio

As a current marching band player in the pit(front ensemble) i love the parts and inclusion of things like cymbals, timpani and extra things like gong and bass drums (in the pit) that are so wonderful to hear when someone makes a marching band type show

Hello, i was wondering if you could possible write me a score that uses piano, but put the names of the instruments that will take the piano part for a marching band show like this? I'm having some trouble coming up with a main melody and sticking with it, if you could help me out id appreciate it, and the show theme is supposed to be winter themed so like snow i guess, and i want it to be really hard like Hebron high school level I've always wanted to write a show like there's, i can't write percussion though if you could reach back to me id greatly appreciate it!!!

@@robinsontanner37unfortunately, i really don’t have the time to do that, but i’m able to provide tips if you’d like. imo, writing all that stuff yourself is really important since it gives you the experience and helps you grow. you’re not gonna be great at first, but if you stick with it and keep challenging yourself, you’ll see improvement in no time!

I can definitely imagine this song with a blue supergiant, also, black holes perchance?

[@bennettmercurio]

@@RocketsNRedstone i did some research to figure out the plot for this, and i chose to go the nebula route vs a black hole but that could’ve been a very different third movement

How do you get the voiceovers in the beg, like do you hire someone to say them or is there a website?

[@bennettmercurio]

@@abramwilson54 i used Murf AI, specifically Clint at -14% pitch and -12% speed. it takes some experimenting to get it right, but i’m rly happy with how it came out. for the “SUPERNOVA” line in mvt 2, i used a different guy and layered it in post with different pitches.
