This ain't exactly frying my potatoes, but it's by no means peeling them either..
I'm helping to start up a "club for young creative musicians" at my school. I figured "Hey, clubs are generally fun, and hell, if I'm a music major, it rather makes sense for me to join." xD
So now we're trying to get word out around the campus as to our existence. Literally by word of mouth, putting up flyers, whatev. Another way we're trying to get some publicity is by organizing a little open-mic performance thingy.
Cool beans, yada yada... I've had a fair bit of experience getting people to join clubs. I've recruited a lot of people into the anime/video game club that I co-founded/am still an officer for; and cripes, I got three people to join the musicians' club today.
I thought that what I'd be doing for this event was at most emceeing the event. I tend to be good at attracting attention when I want to. :3
But nooo... My prof wants me to join him in a piano/clarinet duet. Bahaha.
Despite my having played clarinet for thirteen years, I've never once publicly performed in a duet or as a soloist. I've made a strong point of never doing so, as I tend to get incredibly nervous and just muck up the entire thing. (Though really, saying I've never done it is a lie - I've tried. But it didn't end well at all. I quite literally just freaked out and ran offstage.)
Shit, even if I had a second clarinet player there with me, I'd be fine. But this...ugh.
So, forewarning, if I've died of embarrassment next Wednesday, y'ins know why. <3
