Hey everyone, I know alot of these might seem like “DUH” rules for performing, but you’d be suprised how many people get some of this stuff wrong.
• Always be on time
• If you are working a special event, dress like you are attending a special event. Do not show up to someone’s wedding in jeans and a T-Shirt.
• Make a performance day check list. Start writing your list a day or two in advance of your performance.
• Bring business cards and carry them with you as much as you can.
• Bring an extra costume.
• Pack your skirts inside out, and anything with beading on it should be in separate plastic bags inside your bag.
• Bring back up CDs with a variety of music so you can pick based on the tone of the event..
• Make an emergency kit, you never know what might come in handy. My emergency kit includes: scissors, hot glue gun, lots of safety pins.
• Bring a book, a snack and a bottle of water.
• Make sure you have some cash and your ID.
• Darken your eye-brows. All of you! 
• Usually not a good idea to drink, even if someone offers it to you.
• Be yourself and have fun!
