8/8 Edited to

... Read moreI've been training for this moment so long that I eventually reached what many call a "flow state," where everything feels effortless and natural. Despite years of practice, stepping onto the stage still comes with a mix of excitement and nerves. Performing at R&B concerts, especially ones that feature legends like Chris Brown, Usher, and Busta Rhymes, is an unforgettable experience that pushes you to bring your best. Rehearsing in front of the mirror since 2011 gave me the confidence I needed, but real crowds and live music bring a unique kind of adrenaline. I learned that it's okay to fumble a little because those moments make the performance authentic and relatable. Being part of the energy at an #rnbconcert connects you not only to the music but to an audience that shares your passion. If you're preparing for your own performance or any big moment, remember that consistent practice helps you reach a mental flow where everything clicks. But also allow yourself room to be human; nerves show you care. Watching performers like Chris Brown and Usher can be inspiring, but your own journey and growth are equally valuable. Embrace the nervousness, feel the music, and enjoy every second of your spotlight.

honestly the best and worst week of any production. Tech is late nights, running around, doing nothing. it’s all the fun rolled into one. (plus i get homework extensions!) As my director always says “some people call it hell week, but i don’t because it’s when we all become the closest” #drama
