It was about 30 minutes away until show time so I ran through my song one more time with the class(during this whole time I am really nervous) I play it perfect so I am feeling pretty confident. We go down to the gym to help set up more chairs and there are at least 200 people down there. When we get back to the room I am really jumpy and I start to hyper ventilate and I basically have a nervous break down. Finally when its time to preform the gym is full of 500 people including my family and grandma Isaac. I was the very last one.
When its my turn to play I am literally shaking so bad I can barely walk. I start playing and I see I can do it so I relax a tiny bit. Then I STOP PLAYING!!! My fingers are shaking and sweating so bad that they slip off the piano and I stop playing I get right back on it though it was totally humiliating. I go out after and ball for about a minute then I'm just whimpering.
I don't regret learning the song at all I just wish I would get over being scared. But I am really glad that I tried and now I am the accompanist for the 7Th grade choir so it just goes to show... even if your afraid try new things and if you mess up just get back into it, good things might come out as a result.
