Local Competitions

Are you a kid who lives in Hawaii that wants to enter singing competitions? Then you are in luck! This post will be all about local competitions in Hawaii, how to win, and a couple of tips that will make you more remembered in competitions. There are many singing competitions that you can enter, but there aren't that much singing competitions in Hawaii as there are in the mainland. Singing competitions are all meant for good experiences and to make you more of an experienced musician. One thing you really need to remember is that you're most likely not to win every competition you enter. If you lose you don't need to be a poor sport. You need to take feedback that people give you. I am sure that almost every musician has been knocked down and lost singing competitions before they got to where they are. Now some of these competition require for you to audition and make it to even be a contestant in the main competition. Usually you audition in front of some sort of judges or peers. Those people will be your audience and your judge in the audition. Some important things you need to know when you audition is to have a great attitude, pick the right song, show good presence, and try your best to not show your nerves. These things will increase your chances of making it. Now if you make it to the competition, this is where the real work comes in. You need to find the right song choice for you and the audience. What's usually recommended for singing competitions are songs that show range and what you can do. This will impress the judges a lot. You should also have great posture and stage presence. This will show everyone that you are confident and not a weak performer. This will help you place higher in competitions. Now, I am going to show you a few competitions that I've entered and had a lot of fun in.

The first competition that I'm going to show you is called "Brown Bags To Stardom". It's a local competition for school kids from elementary, middle school, and high school. It is also open for dancers and bands as well. I've been in this competition before and placed second in the boys category, so I have experience in what the competition is like. To first be applicable to be in this competition, you need to have passing grades. Then you enter your school competition for Brown Bags To Stardom. If your school doesn't have a competition, then you need to enter with a video of you singing. If you make get chosen to compete in the state competition, then you'll be able to perform on stage to maybe place.

The next competition I'm going to tell you about is Hawaii Stars. This competition is for kids and teenagers. You don't need to audition to get in, but there are multiple rounds that you need to pass, to actually make it on TV. There are many kids, but there will only be five per category that make it to the finals, and one winner per category. This song all relies on song choice because that's the song that you will need to sing every round you're in. There are also judges that give you feedback about your whole performance.
