- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- After 6 1/2 months, my first marching show is complete! This took a lot longer than it should've, but I'm quite proud of it.
The repertoire includes Cityscapes by Eric Morales,
Northland Pines & To Soar with Eagles by Michael Sweeney and Original Compositions by Amias Campbell (me)
Enjoy!
This is a demo show and was created for fun. If you are however interested in me writing your next show. Reach out to me!: Amiascampbell890@gmail.com
I got some more marching shows on the way, the 4th of July themed show is not gonna be on 4th of July (bc I started it last week) but it'll be out eventually
is it possible if u could send me the pdf for the mellophone 1 part?

@@therealnocommonsense thank you so much!
If it sounds this good with just the auto instrument noises I can’t imagine how nice it would sound with an actual band playing it
this is amazing. I wish I could see a band perform this live. the Musescore stock sounds don't do this justice. also 4:41 gave me jagged line flashbacks lol
Wow this is really amazing. You are very talented, especially for only being in high school. I especially like movement 3, and the finale is fantastic.
Thank you!!!
Man, that commitment payed off! This is epic! I wanna see this performed now 😏
Could I have any tips on creating marching scores? I've composed a few very small pieces in my free time, and I've always wanted to make something like this.
@@COOPadelphia I'd be happy to give you some tips.
Most of the music I end up using for shows I actually find by accident. Whenever I hear a piece that I think has even a little bit of potential I will save it and add in into a playlist. Doing this long enough will give you a large catalog of different pieces of music that you can pick and choose from whenever you decide to write a show. That's at least what I do.
Actually writing the show is just a lot of trial and error. Sometimes I will watch shows of HS bands or Dci groups to get an idea of what to do (how the music was orchestrated, what instrument blends well with another, strengths and weaknesses of each instrument, technical abilities and range depending on the performers skill level, etc). Once I became familiar with the instrumentation's structure, I used that as a foundation to write my own stuff.
For example, if you were to take a look at any of my marching shows, you'll be able to hear that I either give mello's and sax's the melody or a counter melody quite often, rather than giving them more of an accompaniment type part like low brass (that happened because I listened to a lot of blue knights shows back in the day) .
With enough time you'll eventually find your own groove and writing style, but most of the time it won't happen immediately. I've been trying to write marching shows for the past 4 years and have just now begun to really find my own groove. If there isn't a legitimate deadline, don't rush the process of writing the music, take your time with it. Another trick I use is if I get writer's block, I simply don't touch the score for a couple of days and let what has been written marinate. For instance, a while back I wanted to write a full marching show but I didn't have any ideas, but while I was in a Walmart I heard a song playing that had a nice chord progression, and that's when it motif of the show kind of came to mind. I don't really remember the song I heard, but it inspired me to write One-way Road.
Long story short, take your time and feel the music, use it as a way to express your emotions and write what makes you happy. Hope this helps, have a great rest of your day and God bless you!
Thank you so much! There's no deadline, I'm just a freshman in high school who composes some stuff in my free time that's big into marching band! I wonder how I'll do because I have no experience with writing marching scores, and I don't play any of the instruments- I'm a cellist.
So cool to listen and see images in my head of what might be happening. An exciting piece by a very talented composer!
Very well made! I’ve listened to your stuff for a few years and this keeps up your standards. good job
very engaging music, great work!
Definitely worth the wait
4:33 I really wanna hear that in person lolll
Wow this is really good!
dayum i gotta send this to my band director
mello part is so good wtf
edit:
the chord not resolving at 2:41 is killing me ;-;
Chord resolves don't exist, they're a concept invented by the jedi
As a trumpet player, I can confidently say mellophone is the best instrument
@@therealnocommonsense I play trumpet for concert season but march mello because it's the best
@@therealnocommonsense mello sounds so good
THAT DRUMLINE SOLO AT 2:46 OMG I WISH MY BAND COULD PLAY THAT 😭😭
It’s a percussion break
@@crisp6051erm.. a drumline solo is literally a percussion break by definition 💀💀💀
@@dobbysrightsock a solo is one person, a whole section would be a soli
This is absolutely great! I use musecore too and know how hard it is to make these. Nextime please show the drumline's music also
Amazing work. Would’ve continued marching in college but the dues payments got to me… ;-;
This is a very impressive! I have no doubt judges would appreciate the advanced technique in this music. Could you post percussion as well?
Really like this! I’m going to use this as practice to write drill.
Goat 🐐
The battery is awesome…I gotta see the music! Where can I take a look at it?
Dude, you should be proud; it has some good ideas in it, but I think the piece as is, is good in theory but maybe not as great in practice with a real band. Without doing an in-depth analysis, my intuition says this piece needs to be slowed down and simplified. Other than that I think you have a good, creative mind!

I’d like to write a new percussion book to this for fun and practice writing. Could you send me the files for Musescore please?
I love this, is it available for purchase/licensing?
Amazing!! What software do use??
Musecore
Fantastic show. I'm trying to arrange my own and I have a question. How did you overlay the percussion in musescore when it's not actually on the score?
The percussion is actually on the same score, I simply made it invisible bc no one needs to see my atrocious percussion writing
@@therealnocommonsenseoh? as a percussionist i am now curious to see what you actually wrote 😭😭 (/lh)
We should work on a Indoor percussion show together
What are some good tips for figuring out how to continue into a new movement and how to figure out what you want it to sound like? Also, about how long did each movement take to make and what platform did you use to write it?
I use Musescore as my main notation software. For this show, each movement took around 1 1/2 months. 80% of that time was me experimenting with different ideas tho. When it comes to figuring out transitions between movements, there's not really a definite answer for that question. If I can't think of something right then and there, I usually just let the music kind of marinate in my head for a couple of days or so and don't really touch the piece. Then after a while either an idea will randomly pop into my head or I will hear something from my surroundings, whether it be from a ad, or a car passing by my house or something like that, and it will give me an idea that I'll try out. That's how it usually happens for me at least.
@@therealnocommonsense Could you possibly review my music? I believe one of my pieces just finished uploading.
What program do you use to write with?
Musecore
do you mind if i could have alto sax part?
L no bari sax
Do u have a Instagram bc I have this solo I have to play for marching band and I have no idea how it goes
