How to deal with stage fear?

Question

Today i will play in a concert and i have a lot of parts where i play solo. i was given the pieces 4 days ago and they are not much difficult but we only had one rehearsal and i am anxious about it. how am i going to deal the stress??

Answer 1

seriously, dont smoke weed.

Before going in front of people I meditate to calm myself down. I drink Fanta to get my energy up, but do not look out at the crowd before starting. Also practice in front of the mirror. I always feel better knowing that I practiced well.

Do anything to calm you down practice, but DONT GET IN TROUBLE. Please don't smoke weed, even if you can.  

Answer 2

honestly this may sound funny but its true.

...smoke weed.
