How do you combat the badness? What can you learn from it? Can you turn a bad start into a good finish?
I'm going to answer this myself, I think.
Enjoy your day!

I think we're each our own toughest critic. Especially in a group like a choir, each member knows (or should!) where the tough parts are of a piece, or things to look for, like dynamic changes, tricky singing passages, or just a good ending of a phrase. The audience barely notices about 75% of the time.
However, I think that each stumble can be learned from. When I was younger I sang in a recital and I forgot the words to the song I was singing. I stopped and the pianist had to remind me of the words. In my next voice lesson, my teacher told me never to stop; that I should just keep going and make up the text, so that it wouldn't interrupt the flow of the song. I've never forgotten that, even though I have forgotten words since and looked kind of silly in front of an audience.
Well, I know from the first concert of the new 08-09 year, falling off the riser kind of makes a bad preformance.... people noticing... but you know! They'll forget about it! :D
Okay, well I think as long as you pay attention in chorus and ask questions about notes you're not sure about can help you make a fair preformance. Also, like Ms. Cordell tells us in chorus is to NOT move durring a song! Not to fix your hair, scratch yourself (hahaha) not ANYTHING! Just keeps your hands by your side or hold them together.
Well, that's what I think! I could be wrong...(:
Do it better the next time, no matter what happens keep going! Who cares the auidince will never know, Ms. Cordell will though haha!
