I'm playing drums for chapel this Wednesday infront of 600 or so students and teachers at school, and i just found out today. :wideeyed:

 

I've never played infront of more than 40 people at church or whatever. :(

 

I'm gonna dieeee... :bigcry:

Oh I wish you all the best for this!:daisy:

 

I know this feeling...I once played a saxofon solo "pink panther" in front of 200 people....I was a bit nervous.....and I did really well.....haha...our leader told the people that they can be proud of me!:tongue:

No, you're not gonna die! It'll go well and I'm sure your playing is excellent! Good luck! :smiley:

gah, thanks for the support, but...

 

i tried to jam with a good friend of mine while he was playing guitar, but i couldn't think of any beats for his stuff :bigcry:

 

how am i supposed to make up something infront of 600 people :stunned:

i'm so......

 

screwed. 0_0

Oh i see what you mean.....maybe there will be a flash of inspiration while you are on stage!

you don't have something prepared so you're just gonna improvise? wow I'd be nervous too but I think you'll do great. good luck!

good luck to you!

just watch "american pie" first... that'll inspire you... ;)

Im sure you'll be fine Alyssa!!! Hope it goes well for you!

 

I can understand you being nervous though...I used to play clarinet and playing in front of a hall of about 50 people or so was really nervewracking!

 

but I bet youll be absolutely fine!! :)

Just remember, if you mess up at all... Go mental and break the drumkit, then call it rock and roll.

 

But, you'll be fine! Just incase :P

i see your problem,but if your confident in your ability it wont be a problem but try as much to prepare to have some kinda routine,if you can get your mate to record his guitar but for you,listen to it again and again until you feel comforatable with a beat for it and at least if you do make a mistake your friend will be playing so that will help because all the pressure willnot just be on you because believe me if you peform solo and make a mess its terrible (I know happened many times) but ive played with a band and you are less likely to make a mistake because you know you are playing in tandem.Just practice some sort of routine and you will be fine!!!!

 

Hope this helps!

 

Bohs Man.

uhh... I hope they give you time to practice before you just are put out there :confused: because it doesn't seem right that they would just throw you out there in front of all those people

Im sure you'll be fine Alyssa!!! Hope it goes well for you!

Omg... both of us Karas played the clarinet?? :laugh4:

 

I dropped out before our first rehersal though. But that was because I was crap. Alyssa... you on the other hand seem like one of those types of people who good at whatever they do and pull through because of it.

 

If worse comes to worse... steal some beats. :laugh4: Seriously.

thanks for the advice all. :D (hey, i play clarinet :D)

 

 

well, i talked to one of my friends and they said i could back out if i wanted to...

 

I don't know though--i wanna face the challege, but i serioooussly think i'm not prepared.

that's nuts!

 

 

How did you get into this deal?!

 

I just think that you need more practice. I say, take Bohs Man's advice.

And also, do whatever it is that gets you pumped up for playing drums, if you have anything :confused:

So...?

... yeah man, how did it go?

yeah I wanna know that too, tell us :)

Imigine them naked..........all of them !

sorry this took such a long time to reply to (KM reminded me, lol, and my power just went out a few hours ago), but i backed out. *hangs head in shame*

 

well, actually, i guess someone made the decision for me, :laugh3:

 

i went to the chapel practice the night before we were supposed to perform to see what i could do, and my friend ran up to me, saying that they found someone else to do it, even though i said i would be there to see what i could do... i guess saying "i kinda don't want to" made my friend think that i wasn't going to do it, so she told everyone that i wasn't coming. -_-
