As we prepared for the 2009 concert, there were many questions, doubts and insecurities. This happens with any kind of performance. Will we be ready, will people like what we are doing, can we even do this??? According to many audience members, it was very successful! I had a person comment to me that she thought we had improved so much from last year. She had attended last years concert as well and really liked it. I was encouraged and grateful for all the work and dedication each drummer had to make this performance what it was.
What really made it special for me was that my whole family helped in setting up drums, the stage, coming to rehearsals and other odds and ends, when they would’ve probably wanted to be doing something else.
It was such a joy to drum with this group of people and it was alot of fun!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing, Laura! I hope to get video and pictures up on the web soon!
Thanks Laura, for all you contribute to our group! And everyone in your family was so helpful in schlepping drums, and MC-ing the intermission!
