Are You Nervous For Your Neighbor?

Here’s a way to put your pre-concert nerves in perspective.

Think about your own performance. Are you nervous about it? (Of course. Yes.)

Now think about every other ensemble member. Are you nervous for their performance? (Probably not.)

The other members feel about your performance the way you do about theirs. Lean into their faith in you, and trust that you’ll have each other’s backs throughout.
