•    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!
