REHEARSAL CONQUERED.
On the drive there, I was thinking, "Someone better be playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Thankfully, someone is playing it. :O I played last because I'm a jerk who was too anxious to even play some scales to warm up, and only one family stayed to watch me. But that was enough to make me really nervous, because when my teacher told me to play something to warm up, I could not play anything except for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. >:(
Anyway, I get lost when there is surprise piano accompaniment, and apparently nobody can hear 90% of the bad sounds that I hear when I play, and apparently my face is entertaining to watch. According to the people who watched, my face kept looking angry and then relaxing, and then looking angry again. So I guess I make angry faces when I make sounds I shouldn't be making. I bet my faces made them wonder what was wrong, since there was apparently only one mistake that was noticeable to them.
Now I just need to play in front of a full auditorium and without getting confused by the pianist. I totally feel sorry for the non-cellists (because me and the only other cellist I saw were awesome). At least I slow down and speed up by accident GRADUALLY. Unlike them. :( I'd cry if I was them. I hate how... not worried they are about stuff.
