No purchase, payment, subscription, or video like is necessary to enter or win.

2. Eligibility

Students and musicians of all ages are welcome to participate!

To be eligible:

  • Participants must be legal residents of the United States or Washington, D.C.

  • Participants must comply with these official rules.

  • Entries must be submitted through a YouTube account permitted to post comments under YouTube's Terms of Service.

  • Participants younger than 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to participate.

Participants Ages 13–17

Students ages 13–17 may submit an entry through their own eligible YouTube account with parental or guardian permission.

If selected as the potential winner, a parent or legal guardian must provide their own email address through the Maryland Trumpet Guy website's Contact page and handle all communications regarding prize verification and delivery.

Participants Under Age 13

Children younger than 13 may participate through a parent or legal guardian.

Because supervised children's YouTube accounts cannot post comments, the parent or guardian must submit the entry using their own eligible YouTube account.

The parent or guardian is responsible for submitting the answer, communicating with Maryland Trumpet Guy, and receiving the prize on the child's behalf.

Children should not independently submit personal contact information.

Important: No participant should publicly disclose their age, email address, phone number, or other personal information in YouTube comments.

The giveaway is open to eligible participants regardless of whether they currently take lessons with Maryland Trumpet Guy.

The giveaway is void where prohibited by law.

3. Winner Selection

The winner will be the first eligible participant to correctly identify all three tonguing techniques in their proper order.

Maryland Trumpet Guy will determine the earliest qualifying entry using available YouTube comment timestamps and records.

If the chronological order of equally early qualifying entries cannot be determined, one winner will be selected randomly from those tied entries.

The potential winner will be identified no later than December 5, 2026.

The chance of winning depends on both the accuracy and timing of eligible entries.

If no correct, eligible entry is received before the giveaway closes, no prize will be awarded.

4. Winner Notification and Prize Claiming

Maryland Trumpet Guy will notify the potential winner by replying directly to their qualifying YouTube comment using the official Maryland Trumpet Guy account.

The potential winner will be instructed to visit:
