Missing the Concert

Concert night,
high emotions
running late
let’s get moving

Opening numbers
remember F#
keep in time
watch the baton

Here’s the solo
more crescendo
breath support!
that was awesome

Intermission
7 minutes
stop to help Laura
move the harp

In the back room
take deep breaths
drink some water
mental recharge

Lights come down
two minutes early
baton comes up
where is Ernest?

Stuck backstage
watching us play
can’t sneak on now
just sit it out

First piece over
applause applause
sneak behind marimba
do you think he noticed?

Concert continues
playing perfectly
sure that by the end
all will be forgotten.
