What is the best feeling ever?

[Urza-DSF]

Very similar to angel's experience (I play percussion too. Did my share of concert percussion but prefer marching percussion. I've played snare for the last three years):

-A very successful musical performance when the crowd is literally falling on themselves.

I did marching band in high school. Not crappy-play the Hey! song over and over-marching band but serious, 'hardcore' DCI (Drum Corp International - 'pro' marching band) style shows. Playing our show at 10:00PM, after making finals earlier that day, infront of a full stadium of people who all actually care since they're fellow band nerds is quite possibly the best experience of my life. Then, getting 3rd place after only being beaten by two rich-as-hell Atlanta schools when we're a poor southern-Georgia school...priceless. Freaking priceless.

Any musical performance can turn into that if you truly feel the music and can get into it. It helps to be playing with people you know and care about.

I know exactly what your talking about here ima, since I played bottom bass for a good four years in highschool (really it was the only thing stopping me from transferring or something else entirely more drastic, also where I met my ex-girlfriend who is currently one of my only remaining friends).

But yeah, I don't think I'll ever experience something better than when you *know* that you did everything perfect throughout an entire show. Not only that, but the side benifit of never worrying about being in front of a crowd is fairly nice as welll
