Performing

Performing for the school for the first time required a lot of risk taking. we planned everything before hand, like where to stand and the song list to make it most interesting. We performed at the Food and Fun Fair that included all ages so it was hard to pic songs that would be enjoyed by a wide verity of people.

The difficult thing in the beginning was to overcome the fear of perfoming infront of a big group of people where most people where strangers to me. once that fear was over come the challange was to keep the same tempo as i got tired and keep grip on the sticks as my hands got sweaty. i can definitely say i have developed new skills, the performance was very long and allowed me to reflect on each of my actions. i immediately gained comfort.

The goal i set at the beginning of this project to play with Mr.Reim and Mr. Smith was met as i was able to learn all 8 songs with no mistake. I only messed up once but i have developed enough understanding and skill on the songs that i was able to regain the beat and get back perfectlly in the song, you could really see the commitment we put in practice and the perseverance that we were putting in the performance.
