Re: Panic Mode

I feel like flaking :/ 
The real danger here is not in having to survive a struggling performance--all performing artists must endure this.  The real danger is in letting your jitters manage your performance calendar.  Stick to your commitments.   

Just share what you got-- no apology or explanation needed. Give it with gusto.  And if you struggle-- do so with grace. Struggle is a welcome element in any performance art.  The audience will rally for you if you let them.
So be bold.  Be daring.  Be unapologetic.   Unless of course, you choose to flake,  in which case, you should apologize like crazy-- mostly, to yourself.

I have a performance tomorrow at youth group (church). Haven't practiced live looping in about 2 weeks and currently have little to no confidence in myself after the session I just had. Plus it is finals week so I have had very little time for music anyways. I feel like flaking :/
