Liz’s blog provides a list of tips to minimize choir’s performance anxiety. My favorite is this:
If your normal rehearsal warm-ups are about getting people up and going after work, you’ll find that using them just before a performance produces a completely over-hyped choir poised to sing sharp and rush tempi. Meditative warm-ups that slow and deepen the breathing and open the ears are much more useful in these circumstances.
…unless, of course, your performance is on a Friday night after work.
