My First Choir Concert
It was during September of my freshman year of high school and I was about to perform in my first show choir concert. I can picture myself, wearing my royal blue chiffon dress with the top of it glittering like a diamond because of all the sequins. My stomach was full of a million butterflies fluttering around, my knees were shaking, and my palms were sweaty, but I just smiled like I knew what I was about to do. I was so scared; scared about messing up, about falling, about forgetting what note I was supposed to sing, but most of all, I was scared of the crowd. The whole gymnasium was filled w
" I followed her advice and did exactly that. At the end of the concert, even though I had messed up, I felt really good about myself, because I had conquered one of my fears; performing in front of large crowds. I performed three times a year for four years in this show choir and each year my confidence and love of performance grew. I can almost hear the silence of the crowd as we lined up for our first song. Luckily I regained my balance and didn't fall to the ground, and as I was regaining my composure I could hear my director's voice in my head saying "if you mess up it's okay just pick yourself up and continue where you left off, and put a smile on your face and act like it didn't happen. Performing in show choir actually isn't much different than life, because life is a sort of performance. I was putting my all into my dancing and singing. This was going to be my first time to get up in front of a large crowd. Then I started to relax and as I was spinning around, doing all of the right dance moves, the harmonious notes just seemed to flow out of my mouth. Your in front of the entire world living day by day, and each day before you graduate high school is like practice for when you get in the real world, just like when we practiced for our concerts. The pressure was agonizing, until the music started. Until the last song, then the inevitable happened, I tripped. As the concert progressed I felt pride in myself, and I got a total adrenaline rush and my self-confidence was boosted.
