Hey teachers...so recital time is coming up and I KNOW you're getting anxious-- will everything go off without a hitch? What do you get anxious about? The key is to stay super organized...keep notebooks, make sure each staff member/volunteer has a clipboard in front of them with their tasks (people need instructions written down to stay on task) and absolutely look to alst year's recital to figure out what you can make better (you should also keep a calendar of what needs to be done for the recital throughout the year--yes it should take all year to plan!).

How do you deal with this anxiety? My boss, Kathy Blake, has been in the business for 35 successful years and she STILL has nightmares before recital time! What worries you the most?
