Before the show
Prepare Yourself
Do some excercise to prepare your body for running around (If you’re not going to perform to the people then they’re not going to remember you. At a live show it is NOT all about the music, that’s the CD.) Eat healthily so you’re in even better shape. Organise extra practices and in general just keep on top of things. Make sure you leave NOTHING until the last minute. There will always be things that crop up that will take up your time – if you’ve dealt with everything you can deal with, then you can’t say you didn’t do your best to prepare.
