Bananas. I heard

Bananas. I heard a lot of talk these days about eating bananas before you perform makes the nerves go away, or something. And I'm wondering: How much more in advance should you eat the banana before show time? How does it help? Where did someone think of this? So, answers would be great. Thank you!

back to the Pudding's Place

I normally eat a banana at the last possible moment, since food isn't normally allowed backstage, in examination rooms, or in recital halls. :P

Bananas have potassium which calms you down, so it makes you less nervous. And I asked for advice on how to have a good performance on a thread and one of the Admins replied and said that a friend of their's always eats a banana before performances. :)
