A Memory about the Stage

I challenged to be a vocal of a band and perform a song in front of people. Since I was little, I long for becoming a singer, standing on the stage and capturing others with my voice. Thus, I joined the guitar club due to its free atmosphere that members can set a band without any restriction. I gathered friends and volunteered the vocal position, decided a song about love and confession—<I’m yours> to perform in the concert.

However, the wonderful experience I desired turned up not that easy as I dreamed before. Standing in front of the audience, I cannot help but quivered constantly. My legs could barely sustain my instable body, and my hand seized the microphone tightly like I was drowned. Suddenly, the whole room became silence as long as the guitar came up. “It is my turn”, I tell myself. I should make up my mind; I must widen my mouth to voice out my courage. Summoning up my courage, my voice burst out, lingering in the house. I somehow saw an audience smile at me; someone widened his eyes in surprise, and my friends gazing at me with expectation. At that moment, I was fill with the power, realizing that I could make it and I did make it. While the audience starting clap with rhythm, I was finally able to relieved my throat and shake my body with music. After the climax of the song is a solo part, every instrument was stopped. I closed my eyes, concentrating on my voice which is not ordinary but perfect, softly singing like saying a prayer. Ending the solo part came another chorus. I’d love to repeat the most beloved part and fulfilled this adorable song.

After the performance, everyone applauding and screaming enthusiastically. They were calling my name, made me feel like a superstar and just gave them the best performance! I almost jumped to my partner in thrill and high fived with each other. Somehow, looking at the surrounding, the dazzling light, the massive wires, the standing microphone, the stage behind me was where I have just stood on. This bold fact encouraged me a lot, as a wonderful first time singing on the stage.
