Singing in Public

When I was 15 and in high school, my friends Amber, Myra and I started a Christian singing trio. We mostly sang in church and in youth group, and once at a Mother’s Day luncheon where we made our mothers cry their eyes out. We also sang at the county fair talent show. I loved it.

Here’s us circa 1997:

I’m on the left with the super high pants. It’s so hard to look back at old photos and not think “what was I wearing?!?”

So, 13 or so years after that, I don’t really sing in public anymore. I was in choir all through high school and I don’t mind singing in large groups, but I get some serious stage fright if I have to sing alone.

Well, a couple friends have recently decided that I need to sing again. So last Saturday, after a couple practices with the fabulous Paula Reynolds, I made a guest appearance singing with Chick Music and the Brother Band.

Paula rocks, so it was intimidating.

But I got up there and went for it. These next 2 photos are by Will. I was giving him the evil eye, then he put it on video mode. I was just glad he used my camera so I could selectively edit, hehe.

Do I look scared? Because I was. I could have died. It was scary.

Maybe one day I’ll learn guitar and rock it like this sister. That’s something I’d love to aspire to.
