Just thought I'd start a thread to wish you the all the best for today.

Go and knock their socks off!

Aww Thanks

I am scared in my head, but don't feel that nervous, which is making me even more anxious!

I hope everything goes well for you nicki xxxxx

I'm sure you'll do great Nicki!

Good luck Nicki! (Not that you need it - your sure to do brilliantly!)

I'll be back home between 11.30 and 1, so I might get a bit frantic..

I am just thinking about all th ethings which could go wrong..

good luck *hugs*

Best of luck Nicki!

Good luck Nicki.

Don't focus on things that could go wrong, focus on the music message you're going to give the audience.

And don't worry about not being nervous. It's not compulsory.

Good luck Nicki!

Go for it! You'll be great!

Best of Luck

good luck

Good luck Nicki, I'm sure you will be fine.

All the best Nicki! We're all thinking of you here. Positive mental attitude - take some time beforehand to visualise yourself in your recital playing your best and giving a fantastic performance. This will help set you up and boost your confidence to do well.

And do pop back later on if you have the energy and let us know how you think it went!

Best wishes

Nicki I'm sure you'll be fine. A few butterflies before hand is fairly normal. Keep focussed and play your best, you can't do better than that...oh and treat yourself afterwards. If you know you have your favourite treat to look forward to as a "reward" somehow you play better. (The Cream buns after my year 1 second study exams certainly worked a treat!)

Good luck Nicki, you will be fine!!

I wanted to make some cakes afterwards, but I might not have thew energy.

I don't know what to do...apart from eat. Do I flute play?

Thanks for the good wishes.

Nicki I take it your at school, and the idea of you going for a walk is out of the question?

No, I'm at home!

Hi Niki with today, I'm sure you'll be great

Just remember if you feel nervous you are smart and talented I mean there are some people out there who need sarah-flute so explain what an A2 recital actually is

Made even more embarrasing by the fact I have 4 A2 levels myself

Not in common sense though obviously

Let us know how it goes

Hahahaha Thanks Good Intentions

Break a leg !

Have fun and play at your brilliant best. Good luck!

Get away from your computer, and go for a walk somewhere where you can relax. Go clothes shopping, get a coffee out, just do somtheing that isn't fretting. However make sure you do arrive on time.

What time is the recital - hope I've not missed wishing you good luck!

Go girl go!

3.30....!

right you have a good two and a half hours to chill-out.

I have to be at school by 2.30

Ok call that 1hour an 30 minutes, but use that time to relax.

Best of luck Nicki. I'm sure you'll be amazing.

Am sitting watching rubbish daytime TV and talking to friends.

Thanks

Good at least you're not playing your flute!

Good luck Nicki!!!

I see I'm just in time to wish you good luck (theoretically anyway - in practical terms you're probably arriving at school about now ! ) eek...

Sorry I'm all behind today - wishing you ALL the best, and like everyone else says, I'm sure you 'll be amazing.

Don't know whether you're still at your recital but good luck!!! (Hope that works retroactively as well!) I'm sure you are/were great!!!

A bit behind time, but I do hope it went well, Nicki!

Ok, you've probably finished it now, so hope it went ok, sure it will have done!

How was it Nicki?

I'm back...























...and it actually went really well

Great news.

Yay!! Well done. Hope you get a good mark

I'll resist saying I told you so

There was the odd slip, which anyone does, but nothing major even in the darn Hummel (and the syncopation wasn't quite right, but never mind!)

The oddest thing was I feel so blank and emotionless, and apart from getting cramp in my foot in the middle, didn't really have any extreme nerves

Hope you get a good mark!

Well done

Completely missed saying good luck, but evidently you didn't need it!!

I know it is marked differently, but I felt I played so much better than my AS recital, and I got 81/90 for that, so hopefully I've done ok
