Overcoming long hours of work, lack of sleep, and even expectations
Whether it was worrying for my honors chemistry test that kept me up, or my anxious feelings for Monday’s concert, I slept only a few hours on Sunday night (rather Monday morning). School was just ok (my test went well) but the concert on Monday was outstanding. I have never before felt so confident about a preview concert in my career with PYP. I can gladly say that we overcame the last of the issues we were working on even as recently as our last sectional, and I know that Saturday will prove to be an amazing concert. I know that if we stay confident (as we should be at this point), and focus on the passion that drives us to spend so many hours rehearsing, the audience will be just short of stunned. We are humans, and inevitably will make mistakes, but what separates us from robots who do not make careless errors is our emotion. To my PYP compatriots, we can do this.
