EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NA, OC, AND EU* DCs!
From our humble beginnings as a quartet for a lalafell maid cafe on Materia DC and now based on NA Faerie and Diabolos servers and the EU Lich server, the Snowbirds octet brings a wealth of experience to delight and entertain any event or venue. We can perform across all DCs in NA/OC/EU*, showcasing diverse content that spans various genres. We tailor our performances to suit your needs perfectly, featuring arrangements specifically by Snow the Bard. We especially love to support both GLBTIAQ+ and lalafell community events! You might also catch us at a random public bardfest on your server, especially if you are on the Crystal DC.Do you have specific songs in mind? Or is there a piece you'd like to play with your friends? Snow our Bard can help arrange and transcribe your music, allowing you to play it with friends or incorporate it into your gigs!
NOTE: EU is currently in a limited capacity, purely as straight performance with limited costuming and emotes.

|---|---|---|---|
| Every Saturday (unless booked) | 8:55pm-10pm EST | HAWKS Hype Night | Lots of fun with giveaways and a bunch of great Diabolos bands and dancers! Whilst Hype Night officially starts at 8:55 pm, it is not uncommon for bands like us to be set up well beforehand (an hour or so) - so sneak in early, and you might get to hear some new or fun pieces before everyone else! | Crystal | Diabolos, The Gold Saucer, Cactpot Board |
| Fri Dec 19 | 4pm-5pm EST | Florette Athenaeum: Wintertide Camelot | Join us for a three-day festival that brings out the joy of the winter holiday season while also celebrating the purpose and warmth of community and togetherness. A collection of presents to be claimed and opened, new friends to take into the new year, and a selection of sweets to celebrate the holiday right — grab a blanket and huddle around the fire to hear a story or two full of gratefulness.

NOTE: Events that are either not open to the public or do not allow lalafell will be marked as Private Events. Snow the Bard and the Snowbirds are not accepting any new events/venues that do not allow lalafell. The existing venue(s) we work with in question do support LGBTIAQ+ and have regular SFW events that allow lalafell.
Upcoming Hiatus
We could not have been happier than the reception we have had from the community for the end of 2025! We've been part of so many venues and events, and it's been wonderful to bring smiles to so many faces.To do that even more in 2026, we are going to be taking January 2026 to ourselves so we can work on music and our overall performance behind the scenes. But don't worry, we will be back in February 2026!And who knows - there might be a cheeky public performance here and there. :3
Availablity
| Day | Time |
|---|---|
| Friday | ET 10pm-LATE (8am) |
| Saturday | ET 11pm-LATE(8am) |
| Tuesday | ET 10pm-LATE (8am) |
These are our general availability hours. If you are hosting a major event (audience in the hundred-plus range) or an event for the LGBTIAQ+ and/or the lalafell communities, do reach out, and we may be able to accommodate a timeslot outside of these hours.
Hiring and Commissions
Do note that Song Commissions will eventually be released for general public use on the FFXIV Bard Midi Library (usually in 1-3 months). You can share your commissions with your friends, but please do not release them to a public MIDI library without prior discussion.The time before general public release is for polishing/fixing the piece - any updates to such a song arrangement will be provided to the commissioner free of charge.NOTE: Currently Song Commissions are NOT open.
| Type | Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Band Hire | 1mil Gil per hour | Up to a maximum of 3 Hours - minimum of 1 hour. This can be in 15-minute blocks. The size of the band will depend on the venue and requirements. |
| Band Hire (Priority) | 2mil Gil per hour | Need a band on short notice? We can be hired at a higher rate on less than 72 hours' notice. |
| Band Hire (Congestion Surcharge) | 100% extra | Unfortunately, for any server that currently has a Congested server status, we will charge 100% extra since we'll need to park the band on that server during non-congested hours to ensure we are there, and this eats into our availability as we will not be able to play at other events/venues during this time. |
Regarding Song Commissions
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whilst we will try to do our best for your venue or event if you are on a typically congested server then we need to discuss potential alternatives or add a surcharge if we need to park on the server well ahead of time.ALSO NOTE: Song Commissions currently closed until after January 2026.
