So tonight begins my venture into the Shamrock Idol contest. This is a local singing competition that I entered last week and Round 1 starts tonight in Quincy at Bad Abbotts.
I'm pretty excited about it, but also a little nervous. I mean, I've been singing karaoke fairly regularly for more than a year and a half. But, this particular competition will be a little different. Here's why:
1) Band backup, no karaoke machine.
2) No monitor with words, so I gotta know them all.
3) Much bigger crowd than I'm used to.
4) Panel of three judges.
I've never sung with a band before so I'm a little worried about that. Plus, I don't know how well they'll know my songs. I want to sing "Brass in Pocket" because it's safe and I can rock it out. Hopefully, they'll know it.
I know all the words to the songs I sing, but having that monitor is like a little safety net. It will be strange not to be able to just peek over if I need a little reminder.
What will really help me is the crew that's coming out to support Lady J. I plan on just focusing on them and belt out my tune!!
Hopefully I'll have some video of my performance for y'all next week. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed for Lady J and let's hope I make the second round!!
