Wasn't Half Bad!

Whew! It's done!

Strangely enough.. I wasn't super nervous before going up there!  Although, there were a couple scary moments.

First off, my voice coach tells me (in front of the huge group) that no one should pick me to go after them, as he wants me to go LAST so wrap it up and finish us off with a bang.  And then he motions hitting a ball with a ball bat.. as in.. I want you to knock it out of the park. Ummm.. what?! NO PRESSURE right??? Psh.. wrong. But somehow I was fine with it. I just sat and eagerly listened to each person go up there and just blow it out of the water.  When it was my turn to go up there, I brought him the sheet music and reminded him to play it a half step lower (since that's how the original song is recorded as well as that's how we've been practicing it).  He tells me that he didn't bring his keyboard in so he can't do that. He'll have to play it higher than usual. (He threw his back out and couldn't carry it in, understandable). But CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!

Anyway.. I sang it.. sang my heart out. Did I suck? I dont think so. Did I kick ass? Meh.. I could have done better..

Here's a snapshot:

I watched the video back and yeah.. It wasn't terrible, wasn't the best I could do. Caveat being that my voice teacher did tell the group that he played it higher than it normally is.. but the group didn't seem to notice. They all really liked it! Yay! :)

Anyway, if my coach thinks the video is good enough - i'll post it. Otherwise I'll need to record it again in the studio.

Seeeee ya!
