2011 Songbird Holiday Contest!

[Salazar45611]

They will love you forever. *pause and stares*

[kidocman]

wow. just finished. playing with people is a lot harder than playing alone

[songbirdocarinas]

@kidocman But it's so worth it!

[KlowWolf]

What if I really can't find anybody else to play with me? Do I still have any chances for playing by myself?

[PaperMario700]

Does it count if i make the videos on my own because i made 12 christmas videos on my channel and no one has an ocarina where i live

So does it count if i just do it on my own

[LinksOcarina7]

Do bolth ocarina players have to be playing at the same time

[JYLukeProductions]

@LinksOcarina7 wow

[songbirdocarinas]

@LinksOcarina7 Yes they do. One can play the melody while the other plays one of the harmonies!

[supersmile131]

is it possible so i can record myself doing the different parts and do a video with them together like Heather from stl doing La Chiaccherina.

[songbirdocarinas]

@supersmile131 Yes, but since the contest is about making music with your friends, we still want you to have at least one other musician playing with you!

[creepercraft23]

Do the other instruments count as ocarinas

[songbirdocarinas]

@creepercraft23 No, but if you only have one ocarina, you can have your friends play the other parts on different instruments.

[mskeeter1]

OT where did you get that shirt? WANT!

[songbirdocarinas]

@mskeeter1 I got from the Zelda Symphony concert in Los Angeles! -David

[xXNJXx77]

does a double ocarina count?



[songbirdocarinas]

@xXNJXx77 Yes, you can use a double!

[Harkadenn]

You talk so fast I wasn't able to follow anything you said... :/

[songbirdocarinas]

@Harkadenn Sorry :( Take a look at the blog for more info! (link in description)

[Gotenks727]

So does the song have to be a holiday song?

[songbirdocarinas]

@Gotenks727 It has to be one of the songs we post on our facebook and twitter pages. You can also find them on our blog!

[GabeDrumBeats]

I love Ocarina :)

My Dragon tooth rocks.......btw David......not Christmas yet x) lol

[64BitFrost]

-music stops-

David: They will love you forever.

-music starts again-

XD I don't know why, but I find that humorous.

[gundealerofthe74th]

what if you want to do 2 different instruments but with your self. like when docjazz did viva la vida

[songbirdocarinas]

@gundealerofthe74th You're allowed to do that, but since the purpose of the contest is making music with friends, we'd still like you to have at least one other person with you in the video!

[MultiDarklink1]

what if my friends don't ocarina can it be playing ocarina and my friend to play piano or guitar or something ?

[songbirdocarinas]

@MultiDarklink1 Yes, totally!

[songbirdocarinas]

@MultiDarklink1 Yes, of course!

[slammusaran]

I loved this tournament last year!

[syer47]

Are we allowed to post multiple entries? I don't see anything about that in the rules.

[songbirdocarinas]

@syer47 Yes, you're allowed to have multiple entries, but if we choose one of your videos, you can only win one prize.

[scarbreath98]

DAMNIT only one in my group who actually plays...

[songbirdocarinas]

@scarbreath98 As long as you have other people playing instruments in your video, that's okay!

[NintendoTrav]

Alright, I have no friends who play ocarina. I'm gonna make some new videos anyway, just because it's fun. haha I don't care that I won't be able to win anything.

[armisis]

Good Luck Everyone!! 

[CalifornianMusician]

What do we do if we have no other fellow ocarina players locally?

[songbirdocarinas]

@CalifornianMusician You're allowed to collab with others over the internet. More info on the blog!

[HieronRemade]

Sorry I also have a question about something...can we make several video responses or just one? What if we pick one and do it, but then a new song is released and we like it a lot more? Do we have to un-respond the 1st vid or anything like that?

[songbirdocarinas]

@HieronRemade Yes, you're allowed to do more than one video response/entry!

[HieronRemade]

Dude all you guys who are saying you don't know anyone else who plays ocarina...you kind of just found a bunch of other people like you lol! Pick someone else in the comments and ask them to do an inet collab with you!

[IgorOgamer]

my reaction that i have no other friend that plays the ocarina in my STATE/COUNTRY:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NGnohohon]

Not just that I don't have any friend around who plays Ocarina, I NEVER find anyone in my country play it! =A=;;

[NGnohohon]

So that's the point! Find new friends who can play, or increase new players!!

[songbirdocarinas]

@NGnohohon Exactly!

[pacamorchaco]

Does it count as an ocarina duo if I play my ocarina while my friend accompanies me on guitar?

[songbirdocarinas]

@pacamorchaco Yes, that counts!

[MAGmaoc12]

'they will love you forever' priceless!

[Turbo852]

I love how you paused the music to deliver the line!

[AngelDouche66]

My reaction when I found that I have no other friends who play instruments...

Forever Alone

[pakokbral2]

@AngelDouche66 hahahaha

[SoraXRoxas123]

@AngelDouche66 me to we're FOREVER ALONE

[Icewind007]

Well, I guess I am out of this contest. I am the only person I personally know who plays the ocarina.

Would be nice to know at least one other person who played 8/

[Shanmander]

@Icewind007 Says you can collab with people online, just no editing the audio :)

[Shanmander]

I need a friend that can play :(

[BDoggy45]

could i do a thing like u did and did more than one recording of my self?

[ebbitt13]

well i lost.....and i really want an ocarina..

[songbirdocarinas]

Check out the rules on our blog to learn how to collaborate friends online! (link in description)

[tacoshmaco13]

I don't have any ocarina playing friends T___T

I'd have to buy my friend one...

[SweetNightmareHikari]

TT-TT No one else I know plays ocarina and I only have one ocarina.

[VideowatcherXDX]

T_T

[slayerx1995]

well. I am teaching some one to play. he is about to have to learn extra fast.

[dabubbsta1]

I don't have any other friends who play the Ocarina :c

[ChrissyD2013]

@dabubbsta1 You should e-mail songbird and ask if you can play both parts, then overlay the videos so they play at the same time.
