How To Win A Jingle Competition

         We all have tried competing in some games, and not only does this involve some sports, but education-related performance as well. Here is where we should insert the words “Jingle Competition”. Jingle competitions usually happen where there are big events in a certain month. Here we change the lyrics of certain songs to phrases that talks about the importance of health and nutrition, and perform them in front by singing and dancing. Sometimes, we need to plan things ahead in order to win:

1.) Be cooperative during practices – it’s natural to do some practices before performing finally on stage. But we have to consider that we are all performing as one, which means we should do everything together at the same time in order to avoid being a burden. We have to familiarize the lyrics of our songs, and of course our choreography. We wouldn’t want to be lip-synching the lyrics or doing the the wrong dance moves. We shouldn’t rely on someone in order to perform properly, so we have to memorize everything for our own good.

2.) Execute everything properly – now, every performance has judges and criteria. I’m not so sure about the specific criteria, but I’m certain that the choreography, clarity of voice, and the delivery of message is there. How do you expect to be graded with a high score if we don’t execute them properly? We have to shout at the top of our lungs if we have to, and then dance properly (regardless of how ridiculous your choreography may be for you). Not only with the whole performance, but our backdrops and costumes as well. We have to paint our backdrops properly and provide our costumes in time.

3.) Acceptance – this may be not-so-related to the whole performance, but these values are important. Win or lose, we should consider the effort we gave to our performance; as long as we did our best, all is worth it. The titles we receive shouldn’t matter much. If we win, then congratulations! We should keep up with the strategies we used. If we lose, then that does not mean there’s no next time; we learn from our mistakes and avoid doing the same thing again.

            

        People may think that jingle competitions are no big deal, but we actually give our all to win the competition in the end. As I’ve said before, win or lose, the outcome doesn’t matter. As long as we enjoyed the whole thing, then our effort is worthwhile. Because what’s important is the teamwork and effort we put together to make it happen, and that is what actually wants.
