Tomorrow is our 4th annual Lone Star Symphonic Band Board Retreat. Jeff will be cooking, as usual, as he has done the last three years. We have a lot planned, and I have the feeling that I will not be sleeping much tonight because of nerves. I'll be presenting about a third of the retreat, talking about publicity.
As I have reflected over the past retreats and looking forward to the retreat tomorrow, I have noticed that I really have grown. I do still get nervous about getting in front of people to speak, but I think I can manage it a little better now than before. I have forced myself to get in front of the band and board to make announcements, presentations, and speeches. I have grown from the experience as well.
