Many people requested this one after Unleash the Magic, so here it is! This song was... okay. It's not great, but it isn't bad either. What's good about it is that it has a lot of energy in it. You can really feel the competition between the two schools and that they're each going to do their best. I also liked that there were at least some unique instrumental parts that I could include in the transcription. That way I don't have to have boring octaves all over the place. Well, there are still tons of octaves, but at least we have some variety. The next thing I want to discuss is good and bad at the same time: what the song is about. It's another typical, cliché, high school-themed song that's been done so many times in so many movies. The thing is though, it's not really Daniel Ingram's fault. He's writing for a high school-themed movie that features a school competition, so he needs to write a song that matches. Ironically, the fact that it sounds just like every other high school movie song is what makes it good. It does exactly what it was intended to do: showcase a school competition. That being said, I do wish we could've had something cooler like Unleash the Magic. Now, what's not so great about the song? The way it ends. There are some songs that work fantastic on their own (the Smile Song) and other songs that are clearly there just to move the story along. Most of the song, despite being about a high school competition, still holds up okay on its own. However, the final measures do not. It wraps up the competition, but not the song. It's also disappointing because it was starting to build up pretty well right before Twilight and Sunset's solos. If we had a bigger climax and finish, that would've been perfect. But nope, the song needs to narrate the story, so we got the really awkward ending we have now. To sum up, it's not Ingram's fault. In fact, he is very good at making songs that do what they're intended to do. Furthermore, he obviously can make music that stands on its own. If you really wanna blame someone, blame whoever decided to make the Equestria Girls trilogy about human high schoolers. I'm not against the EqG movies; overall they're better than I expected. It's just that it limits Ingram's ability to make really creative songs. Transcribing the song was surprisingly difficult, and it's mainly due to the fast rhythms. Everything goes by really fast, and there aren't many melodies that can be copy-pasted. There are some parts that have a bunch of repeated sixteenth-notes, and because they're so fast, it might be difficult to play them. Sorry about that. Then there's the ending with all its tempo changes... Anyone who's read my video descriptions knows I do NOT like crazy tempo changes. Obviously, they needed to be there to build the suspense, but as I mentioned earlier, I wanted a better ending. Unleash the Magic is my uncontested favorite song from EqG 3. This one probably comes in at second or third place. My next transcription is going to be Prototype by WoodenToaster. Now THAT's a challenge. Hope you stick around for that one! See you there!
