Yeah, I get anxious every year, and it goes well every year. But with all of my mania issues lately, I've been seriously worried about flipping out. I know this may seem a silly think to flip out over...and it truly is...but it is also my job and this is the big one. Truly, though, silly to have even one ounce of anxiety over this. I'm a pro. I've been doing it for you years. But you add a super loud drummer who the choir is straining to sing over and my confidence has taken a dip and a choir member truly flipped out on me after the last rehearsal (the way I handled it is a success story!)
Thanks for the support.
