I’ve always wanted to play in a rock band and the Celefest Rock Out Contest gave me an opportunity to do just that. I have never been in a band or performed in a contest, so I thought I could gain valuable experience from this event and help my friends at the same time, since they needed a drummer.
We spent about a month practicing once or twice a week at a studio. Besides having a great time making music, we also bonded together. We soon learned how to play together as a band and worked towards out goal of winning the contest.
On the actual day of our performance, we were all feeling nervous. I began to forget my parts and started to freak out. All the pressure was on us as we were the opening band. When the time came, we walked up on stage and all of a sudden I could remember my parts. I thought we played well even though the tempo was faster than it should have been. We were all relieved to have completed the song and were all anxious to hear the results. Our heart sank when another band was announced as the winning band. Though we didn’t win, we gained valuable experience and can now truly call ourselves a band. We were all quite disappointed but we aimed to work harder and win the next competition.
As for M.I.L.K., the whole event raised a rather large sum of money for the charity. Celefest was a huge success and we were all glad to have been a part of it.
