You can do it, HF. Just get back into the water-- all you have to do is jump in.
Your music director wouldn't have chosen you if he didn't believe in you and know you could do it.
It's a great opportunity to work on these issues. I know it's incredibly scary, but you know-- if you never got the chance to do a solo, you wouldn't learn how to do it. Everyone (or amost) has stagefright-- it's just learning how to deal with it, and be okay. And you will be.
I suspect you didn't do badly at all-- even if it wasn't up to your expectations. Everyone makes mistakes during performances-- I can promise you-- and you just go on, as if it never happened. Most of the time, the audience doesn't think it's a mistake at all-- they just assume it's part of the program-- or the music-- as long as you seem okay.
It's great that you've been chosen. And your T will be there, and help you to make progress. When's your next appointment?
