Charlez360 FREESTYLE COMPETITION Guidelines - STARTED 11/11/10 - RECORDING ENDED

[CiaraWelborn1997]

You went to north meck? They have a good marching band. I think I saw them at bandbeat

[Computernerds23]

I love your videos I started playing tenor last weekend I'm in 6th grade and it inspired me to start playing thank you so much!!

[TBone946]

what bot baritone or tuba



[jonystot]

When is another Competition???????????????? You should do another one

[HungryPanda08]

I just want to say: I noticed especially around 4:55 of your video that you were saying "him" "he" "guy" a bunch, assuming that whoever you were judging was a male. I didn't take extreme offense to this, but it kind of irked me. I'M A GIRL, but I play alto sax (fairly decent as well)! So maybe for future reference in other competitions try not to add a gender specific connotation to things :P

[jjmc1126]

[saxyman98]

[charlez360]

@saxyman98 Ok, then do this. Go to zamzar , (dot) , com and convert it to mp3. Then put that mp3 into windows movie maker. Hurry though, you only have until 11:59 EST on November 25!

[MrSmoothSax]

Hey Charles could you tell me the key on the tenor please.. I not sure about the key.. thnx man :D

[thagodfather007]

hey charles can you give me the key on the tenor  sax??? thanks man

[thagodfather007]

[charlez360]

@thagodfather007 Yeah! You still have 3 days left to record! I'll tell you the key later today, I gotta whip out the tenor and remember the notes again!

[saxyman98]

i used the audacity program to put the rack together but io cant change to mp3 what do i do

[charlez360]

@saxyman98 I'm pretty sure you can export to mp3 with that program. If not, just use windows movie maker and put the wma or wav (or whatever file type) file in there. It should work! :)

[Mu5ic4ever]

[charlez360]

@12stuart23 Just get a cheap karaoke mic! you can plug it right into your computer. and you can use windows movie maker for the vid :)

[12stuart23]

[charlez360]

@12stuart23 alright, I wish you luck, and I hope you don't forget about it! Have fun!

[dasaxophonist]

this is interesting. and i listened to the beat from the download its pretty sick, do you mind if we add stuff to the beat? i might actually do this. but i havent picked up my sax in forever

[charlez360]

@dasaxophonist I actually do mind if you add anything to the beat, because I just want it to be the same beat for everyone. A few people have already submitted videos. Just freestyle!! :)

[dasaxophonist]

@charlez360 thanks for responding. i'll see if i can put something up by next week. college is gettin in the way though so i might not have much luck

[Ursugarspice]

[Nickpieboy]

What if I don't have a Video Camera but I do have a Microphone?

[charlez360]

@Nickpieboy Dude, that's fine. I said that I prefer if you had a videocamera, but if you don't, that's not your fault, and you shouldn't be excluded because of it! :)

[Nickpieboy]

@charlez360 Alrighty, ill post it once I make one that I like :)

[WiimusicGirl]

I play the flute,and i might be interested in posting a vid.But u were saying i will pick the best saxophone player.Does that mean an other instrument can't win?
