My first "real" performance was at my seventh grade
Solo & Ensemble festival. I wasn't nervous going in,
but the judge stared at me without blinking the whole
five minutes. I played Couperin's Siciliene and La Tromba.
Given I had never played a piece in tenor clef before,
I think I played pretty good! She gave me a two, which
is why I never played a solo and S&E again until this
year (got a one this year). I played other solo gigs,
but never at S&E. Fortunately, I still don't get nervous
(until I'm done, then I'm a wreck!).
