Practicing

We had band practice today. I can almost 100% say that we are playing on Thursday and in a good time slot, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow for the second part of that one.

I am excited for the show, albeit a bit nervous. As far as I know, there has never been a band at senior night and so they're kind of going out on a limb letting us play this show. It was something we talked about last year, that maybe we would get the opportunity to do so. It was not as easy a task as once imagined, but now that it is only a few days from now, I can't wait.

I am going to be playing drums for a song, and that has me a bit nervous. I am capable of playing the song and keeping time. What I am more concerned about it hearing and the sticks. I don't know how the sound will be and I am worried I might not be able to hear the rest of the band. In addition, a few times in rehearsing the song today I dropped a stick. I am hoping that this does not happen on Thursday. I am more concerned about this than I am about singing any of the songs, or just singing at the event in general, and thats an accomplishment.

No matter how many times we play a song, I always come to practice with the lyrics sheet. Something about it, I could know the song very well, and could even sing it to you in any other situation, but come time to sing it as a band and sometimes I just blank. I also have a tendency to misplace said lyric sheets after practice, making my final act before leaving for a practice looking up most of the songs online and printing out lyrics sheets for them. I probably have hundreds of pages of lyrics at this point. I should get a folder.

Back to classes everyone!

( Note: We are not playing as TSRJ for this show. Instead, we are going to play as Carlos The Dwarf)
