Performing in front of a crowded audience can make anyone nervous. This is especially true if you’re a teenager, when we’re most shy and feeling rather insecure about how others see us.

But if you manage to gather the courage to do just this, then it can be a most amazing, thrilling experience.

That is exactly what happened for Brett Nichols, when he decided to participate in his school’s talent show.

Pitman High School in Turlock, California, had a full house this day. Its gymnasium was packed with anticipating students, and, naturally, with hundred of eyes on him, Brett Nichol looked a bit nervous as he stepped onto center stage.

But as soon as Brett warms up, everything changes. He soon melts into his element and begins showing off his amazing skills in front of the the whole school!
