Garrett
After a long day, we finally made it. I'm supposed to go on in an hour.
I can hear the buzzing of people on the other side of the stage curtain. I have to get set up quickly. The set up is pretty sad. There is only one microphone and one speaker. Thank goodness Melissa organized people to get everything loaded up on the bus.
45 minutes.
I begin to set up, and I can hear children giggling. I had never thought about my feelings towards children before. I assumed they were annoying and loud, but their laughter made me smile. I am so nervous. I hope I perform well and entertain the public. I want these kids to have a good night.
30 minutes.
Everything is set up behind the curtain. Now all I have to do is wait. I hear everything, but I can see nothing. I have no idea what the room looks like or what the people or the kids look like. I don't know what to expect, and I can feel my heart in my head. It's pounding. I've never gotten nervous for a show before. The stage is usually where I feel the most confident.
10 minutes.
I keep repeating mantras to myself.
"You are a great singer. You can do anything you set your mind to. These people will love you. The kids will love you."
Show time.
