Before a performance?

[Meistro]

Once it's tied just give a little shake side and front to test the turla after that just "sit down, shut up, and wait" - (that is the exact quote I get in punjabi after my pagg is tied- I just provided an english translation) lol!

I agree with "Sit down, shut up, and wait" haha. I dont know about you guys but I find it really hard to dick around before a performance. Gotta get in the zone and just relax and wait. I get pumped and hyper just a few minutes before going on stage. Preferably getting into a circle while somebody on a the team is saying a speech (bhangra speech of course). What do you guys do? Do any of you find it easier to be hyper and crazy while you're waiting for your turn to perform?

i usually go up to people hopping around and say "lets go baby" and then right before we go on we bring out hands in and give the 300 hundred speech "BOSTON TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!"......lol kidding its more like "We came all this way, no turning back lets show cali(city name)what we have been practicing for."

i like to stay pretty relaxed and calm until theres like 2 minutes left then get pumped and jump around a little.

Same here. Also yeah gettin' together w/ the team. Everyone focus on just each other and the dance, try not to talk to other people when less then 10-15 min to go. last minute bonding

 

[Gurvir]

just stay cool and focus and then when its time to perform you jump around and just let your inner bhangra spirit take over lol

we have nikhil

...just chill...i have a huge loongi-phobia...so i triple quadruple check if my loongi is on nice and tight but other than that...no need to waste energy...if your teammates need it...give em a bit of encouragement...saveeee it for the stage...

I dont know if its just me...But before a performance i feel like i cant remember the set or what comes after what...however once the music starts and get into the performance everything is good

HAHHAHA YESS DUDE...me too..i blackout completely.

 

[Kaur]

Once everyone is ready we do padth and ardaas, and just pump eachother up. After that its usually just silence and just a few jokes being cracked.

 

[tonygarcha]

after lathering up on tiger balm and bugging PANJ and UBC and any other teams, we do urdaas in a circle, then UNITED on 3...and its game time...bola So Nihaal, SA SRI AKALL!!!!

 

[tonygarcha]

and i always get the feeling i need to drop a deuce before i go on stage, ALWAYS...still get that nervous feeling to this day...

i think its like that for a lot of people. like you blackout then the music hits you and its like you remember everything

this happens to me only on music. When i dance to live bhangra, I never get that feeling. Its weird. I dont know how to explain it.

 

[mafzal]

we have nikhil

hahahahaa I saw that behind-the-scenes-vid on BOBtv
damnn truee guess thats all u need!

 

[Havish]

we have nikhil

hahaha... mad love nik

I can't help make sure everything is perfect... checking pugga a million times and making sure they are good, keeping people calm while we wait, but right before going on stage hyping everyone up, jumping around, stretching and getting into the zone

 

[zagreus]

It varies on the size of the performance...
but before every performance i go off to the side and do Ardaas on my own, and get myself into a zone...after my own personal reflection, i go ahead and make sure the team is set properly and the guys are set to go.

Before i even leave for a performance (if it's at night)...i do kirtan sohila silently in my mind and get ready for it all.
But once i'm on stage...well, i get into a zone...and i don't recognize the surroundings, and just get right into it. I also remind myself (in order to take away some nervousness), if i mess up...the world doesn't end.

 

[akhmastani]

Blast some DMX and Eminem for pump up music.

 

[abhigames]

i sign the last autograph and tell the last girl that i'll meet her at the afterparty....then we say, "wooo haaa tcnj saathiya" so that he fusion gods will give us the power to win. ;D
