Input: Text: i tend to write rather long posts, so  

so long time lurker here but this is my first post. 

mandatory 'did not happen today' but actually two years ago. posting though as my friends still enjoy laughing at it. 

i started learning guitar about 3 years ago. all self-taught by youtube and i became rather comfortable playing the instrument. 

i had progressed quite a bit when my friend and i decided to enter our school's interhouse music competition. we got a band together and entered a group piece. i would be playing guitar and singing. 

my music teacher at school had recently discovered that i could play guitar and sing so she asked me to also enter in a solo piece. i considered this and finally decided to enter as i thought 'hey, it's a good way for me to get out of my comfort zone right?' 

to give you an idea what i was like then, i was shy. i was able to talk in front of 5 people but the moment the group got larger than that, i got stage fright. now what was i thinking registering to play in front of the whole school. 

my band practiced everyday for weeks before the show and i could play and sing the songs in my sleep. unfortunately this left me very little time to practice my own piece. i would practice quickly before leaving for school or before bed, but never enough until i was confident with the piece. 

the night of the show arrives and my band is pumped. we've practiced this over and over again. we were determined to nail this performance. i on the other hand was not feeling that great about my solo piece. 

the show starts and i am to perform my solo piece third and then our band will perform after interval.

the second performance begins and i plug in back stage and get ready. i am practically struggling to stand up straight. second performance finishes and the mc goes up to announce me while i stumble on stage, trembling. i'm thankful for the spotlight which prevents me from seeing the crowd,  but i'm sure it illuminated my embarrassed face even more. the sound engineers give the thumbs up that i can begin. 

i start playing jeff buckley's hallelujah, remembering the lyrics and notes. first verse goes well and i get through the chorus. when i reach the second verse though i suddenly blank. i stop right there on stage in front of my school, trying to figure out what the note was, but my mind was mush. nothing. i do the next appropriate thing i can think of and apologise profusely to the audience. i then, in an obviously shaky voice ask the judges if i may restart. they nod and i start again. 

this time i start and play the song. i missed out the last verse but i keep telling myself that no one notice. i also found out later that i played the wrong chords and sounded completely off, but i was just thankful that it was over and found relief in the fact that i wouldn't have to face my peers until... i played for my band in half an hour. my mortified self realised that my embarrassment would have to be short lived. 

my band finds me during interval, trying to hide my face, and we get ready. instruments are tuned and, after warming up, my voice feels brilliant.

we go on stage and we kill it. we absolutely nailed the song and received a standing applause. 

i definitely fu my first performance but i stepped out of my comfort zone and as a result am much more confident now. this may sound strange, but i'm kind of glad i fu, at least now it can't get worse (i hope). 

tl;dr signed up for a school music competition. forget the words of my solo and made a fool of myself in front of my school but saved my reputation (well most of it) with my band's performance. thank you band! all in all i'm glad i did it as it built confidence.
