Here is my transcription of Carolina Crown's 2009 Ballad: 'Somewhere' Over The Rainbow Full show transcription coming + more of these videos! :) Hope you enjoy!!
Need the context here: this is the first year synths were allowed. So the “music box” segment at 1:09 was unlike anything drum corps audiences had ever heard at the time-there were probably some people who only became aware at that very moment if they only went to finals.
Great transcription! However, I pointed out a few errors (to my knowledge anyways, I’m not a brass player): 1) bar 19 is in 4/4 2) in bar 19 the brass comes in on beat 2 3) in bar 19 the high brass plays the upper parts in triplets I believe.
lowkey one of, if not the most unsatisfying endings to a ballad i’ve heard… and ive heard hundreds, if not thousands of shows (dating back to the 80’s to present…)
Drumcorpsology coming in hot for this one

Favourite mashup ballad of all time 🌈

Hi! I appreciate the feedback but in the high cam version I can see the conductor giving 5/4.
Ah ok. Didn’t realise that

fair, I just love somewhere from West Side Story so I've never thought about it as unsatisfying 🥰
it only feels that way because it cuts out before the closer. it all blends together masterfully
