Another Talent Show

So, yesterday I was in another talent show, but this time it was a high school talent show, in front of the whole high school and it was just me and the piano instead of me and my little sisters. I had planned on playing 'Only Hope' by Mandy Moore, but I only had two weeks to learn it and I was really busy with other things too, so on Monday I had to decided that I just wasn't ready enough to play that song. I ended up deciding that I would play 'When the Saints Go Marching In'. There were about 8 people in the talent show and most of them all sang, some also played guitar. I didn't think that I was too nervous or anything, but then when I got up there to play I was shaking terribly. I hadn't played for a crowd in about 3 or more years and even then usually the only people in the crowd that I even knew was my family, so playing for a crowd that was my whole high school, all people who I know, was a new experience for me. I know that I messed up a few times, but I remembered what my piano teacher used to tell us before recitals and just kept playing because nobody else knows that I messed up, unless I happen to stop because of it. I didn't win, but I didn't care that I didn't win either because I was mostly just doing it for fun and I really think that everyone in the talent show did very good.

I'm sure you did a lot more wonderfully than you felt like you did, but while I too get stage fright, it is so fun to do stuff like that! I'm glad you went ahead and posted again. I really do hope that I'll get to see you more often after you move to B-r. Since people seem to visit there more often than R-d, it is a possibility.

I bet you did great! I am terrible in front of people, I get so nervous. I think it is great for you to do it even though you were scared. Glad to see you posting again!

Thank you. I think I did good too, there were a lot of people who came up to me afterward and told me that they thought I did good. Sorry I don't have a recording.
