Entrance Bottleneck
Have you tried singing with a group pressured by time and has about five minutes to prepare in the backstage right before the performance? Well, I have. And it’s an experience I don’t want to encounter again. What’s worse? It’s a competition! Oh great!
I was actually with a choral group and we were late because of the checks made at the entrance of the casino (not an online casino but a real casino by the way) where the competition was held.
The biggest tip I can give: Always prepare for the worst and hope for the best in every performance. Things unimaginable could come out from nowhere and grab you by the neck. In our case, each of us was carrying a lot of stuff like costumes and many different bags for personal belongings.
We understand that the check was for security reasons but boy, did it contribute to the tense or what! Maybe the choir that time was too complacent, arriving almost just on time.
