My friend, you and I both. We can share I grievances on stagefright. I had to quit because of a dental surgery, but for eight years, playing the trumpet was my life. And I can't tell you how many times I was terrified going into a solo competition or even a solo playing with the ensemble around me. Still choked so many times. And it was only on trumpet, the instrument I cared most about. When I solo-ed on euphonium I didn't have trouble at all, it was so weird. But yeah, completely nervewracking. *hugs* <3
