What do you want your ensemble to remember as you approach their first concert of the year?
- Every performance is another milestone on the journey to excellence.
- Stay focused on the task at hand.
- Focus on the positive afterwards, both in your internal monologue and in your conversations with audience members after the performance.
- Show respect for other ensembles when you’re not performing.
- Earn the ovation you get when you enter, because you have not yet earned it.
