I have a band concert this afternoon and rehersal in an our or so. Problem is, I have a fever and feel awful. This concert is a huge honor and I already missed the concert before this one due to sickness. What should I do?
Call the doctor, or at least see the school nurse. If you are too sick to be out in public, you should not perform. I know that using the same excuse again for missing a concert, sounds lame. Your health comes first.
Take a pill and go to rehearsal. If you're too sick to perform properly it will be obvious to everyone at rehearsal and they will probably tell you to rest yourself and get well soon.
If you do not feel very well, give a good excuse to the conductor saying that you are feeling very sick. I'm pretty sure he/she will excuse you. Only if you are VERY sick, though!... ...if you feel good enough to do the concert, you should go. In this time, try your entire best to make yourself feel better. 1) Eat healthy breakfast/lunch 2) Don't stay on the computer 3) Drink lots of water ..and I will be pretty sure you won't miss out. Health is one of your #1 priorities. Kind regards, and hope you'll feel better.
