RE: Performing at school Friday, random wave of low confidence has struck again

That's the point of no return my friend. You jumped in the dark even if with doubts, and you passed :)

From now on, you will be stronger, faster, harder!

There are no bad experiences.

It went OK. Not terrible not great. I had quite a few setbacks such as huge sun glare on my computer so the screen was absolutely useless. Also i think my midi controllers had a few malfunctions because of the heat. Sometimes the faders wouldnt work and sometimes switching instrument patches seemed like it wasnt working instantly like it should have either. Overall It was a good experience. For one, it was my longest looping performance so far (about 12-14 minutes). Students didnt even give an applause after I was done but whatever, I enjoyed it the feeling of being brave and encouraged enough to follow through. I consider this an opportunity I had to share my music as someone mentioned before me, rather than to "put on a performance".

after not playing for awhile, i find that picking up an instrument, the first time, is a whole different experience,

fresh new ideas both compositionally and dexterity wise.....breaks are good.....i know i'm late to the party but

how did the gig go?.....sometimes you got to just jump in and go for it.....and remember, breaks are not good!
