If this tune doesn’t get stuck in your head to remind you that yearbook sales end soon, nothing will.

Juniors Avery Platt and Sheridan Woodrow wrote the following jingle for project in journalism. Students were to create an ad to sell the 2019 yearbook using advertising appeals they have studied. Platt and Woodrow used a jingle, repetition and a slogan in their production of the song “Buy Your Yearbook or Die.” 

Platt and Woodrow wrote the lyrics then recorded their song with a spooky melody just in time for Halloween.
