They say that success comes from laying the groundwork, preparing thoroughly, and then let it all go and own the moment.
This weekend I found myself leading a few hundred Catholics in worship music on an emergency basis. There were a few places where I found myself a little shaky, subbing as I was. Then it came to mind that I'd sung these songs a hundred times in the shower, perfectly every time. So I closed my eyes, pretended that I was in the shower, and the words flowed easily.
Preparing for the Spelling Bee play is comparable. Repetition a hundred times before opening night will put it on autopilot and allow me to be more spontaneous when entertaining the patrons.
Fun times ahead...
