i am proud to say that me and my band will be performing onstage for the first time. Even tho its a school Christmas show...i am still very excited. And i will be solo if/when i play the Hanukkah Song. Any advice/tips for a good stage performance?

Just be yourself and always imagine everything from your audiences point of view. You cant go wrong if you stick to that.
Best of luck and let us know how it goes!

The audience will come to dance a have fun so let it ripppp. Relax and show it off (but not too much when with the band).

Check out some live stuff from Buddy Guy. He has some style still. :lol:

walk out with your middle finger extended. hold on, did you say it was in school. uh, dont think they'll let you play long if ya do that :)

just enjoy it. and if ya make a mistake, you will probably be the only person to notice it, so just carry on as if it was deliberate. but, most of all, as was said before, have fun!

:twisted: :D

Don't worry about it Stryder. Walk out there like you own the place and have a hell of a lot of fun! You'll knock them dead!
