This good ol' theme.

A natural -> Bbb in measures 4 and 12. Also 17-20 could be alternating between B major and C minor (Cb major makes no sense?), but I could be wrong so get a second opinion there.

Other than that good job!

[WaluigiTime64]

Fixed.

Alternatively you can make the octuplets into tremolos. Can explain how to do it if you want to and don't know.

Also move down the 5th and 6th systems a bit, they 8va line collides with stuff above it.

[WaluigiTime64]

1. I want to make sure that the octuplets have their exact note values, which I don't think tremolos can do. If they can, then please help, because I have never used those tremolos before. (I just use the basic articulation "tr")
2. I use Finale Notepad, so I can't just move the systems. However, I did move the slurs and the 8va around so that nothing collides.

Tr is not tremolo, it is a "trill". A trill is a rapid alteration between the note indicated and a note above or below in the scale, depending on the trill. A tremolo is a rapid alteration between 2 notes, but not necessarily in a scale-step away from each other, so for example you can a tremolo with a C and a C higher up, like some sort of octave tremolo. A tremolo can have an exact value as well, it depends on the context whether the tremolo should be exact or not. So the tremolo can be used as an abbreviation instead writing down all the notes.

Look at this Beethoven piece. 1:55 is a good example of tremolo.

I don't know how I forgot that "trill" is the term for that. I rarely see the full word, so that might be it.
I'm actually quite undecided whether to use a tremolo or not, considering it can have the exact values. I might leave it at the exact notes.

The octuplets are fine. I agree with Waluigi and this is a perfect reason:

1. I want to make sure that the octuplets have their exact note values, which I don't think tremolos can do. If they can, then please help, because I have never used those tremolos before. (I just use the basic articulation "tr")

Other Grant Kirkhope arrangements that have octuplets (or other fast notes like these) are written out because of this reason.
For example:

These are only 3 of many many examples.
