I think my performance in School of Rock went well. I was super nervous on opening night of the show. Everyone was super nice to me. They kept trying to calm me down which I really appreciated. It was really nice of them to do and I’m lucky they did because I was on the verge of hyperventilating! During the show on opening night, I felt really energized! It made me really happy to prove to myself that all that hard work of memorizing lines, songs, and drum music really paid off. I had one mishap during the opening night performance which was when I didn’t go fast enough to the “If Only You Would Listen” scene. Everything worked out in the end though because Nate and I were ready to race out of the door! I loved the scene with me and Nate. It was fun acting with him because I feel like we really feed off each other energy and emotion. At the end of the opening night performance, I had my big drum solo. It went pretty well so I was happy. The second night went pretty well. The energy was still high and everyone new their lines. I think there was a bit more improve but I enjoyed it! I felt excited throughout the whole show! My big solo at the end of the show did not go as I planned, but I didn’t stop during it which I think paid off. I kind of wish that I didn’t ask so many people if I messed up because everyone I asked said that I did a great job and the majority didn’t even notice. That’s one of the lessons I learned during this SOR experience. Majority of the time, people don't even know what anything is supposed to sound like. I really enjoyed my second performance though because I still felt like I did a great job with all in all performing. Today was the last performance of SOR and I’m kind of bummed it’s over. I felt as if this performance was very free- feeling. Everyone seemed laid back and happy and not tense at all. I really loved that because it made this last performance to be left off on a great note! I did my solo perfectly also! I’m really proud of everyone and also really proud of myself. I’m so happy I did the musical this school year because it pushed me out of my comfort zone. I played the drums and got so much better at them! I sang in front of a crowd! I acted and spoke louder! I had more personality! It felt so nice when people would come up to me at the end of the performances and give me hugs and high fives! They told me I was really great! At the last performance today. Tis man and women gave me firm handshakes. Those were two of my favorite encounters with the people from the crowd. Everyone in theatre were so nice to me I feel like I am apart of something more now. I feel super happy and and smiling as I write this right now because I just love every single one of the people in the production of SOR! I miss the musical sooooooo much already. :( :).
