This Saturday is what we've all been waiting for...our first performance of our halftime show! Yayyy! I don't know about you, but I always get an excited-anxious feeling before performing a show for the first time. And as Dr. Bates says, we have to look good for the high schoolers! So the pressure's on--but don't worry; we're all in this together. If you're nervous about the performance, don't worry. Just make sure your music's memorized and that you know where you're going in the drill--not merely following the person in front of you. And if your mind's not even on the performance yet, well get more excited! We've worked hard through camp and rehearsals, and even if our show's not rock solid yet, we'll be able to improve so much more once we're able to review our show and point out problems.
Things to remember for Saturday:
- Hat, gloves, plume, and shoes
- Instrument
- The correct slash!
- Black socks
- The memorization of your music <--so important!
- Get pumped & have some fun!
I would also like to point out that this will most likely be our only evening performance of the year, so relish the stadium lights--performing in broad daylight, in the middle of the afternoon is just not the same.
In the meantime, keep working hard at rehearsals and keep a positive attitude! Here's to the beginning of a season of wonderful performances!
