First of all, keep in mind that getting the opportunity to make music ANYTIME is an honor and priveledge, especially as a soloist. Just be confident in what you do and get inside the music for what it is. Practice in performance mode ALL OF THE TIME, and keep in mind your priorities when you practice (air, sound, etc.). Just have a ball with the music and play aggressive with a band, as they tend to cover up beautiful low brass sounds regardless of the ensemble (Brian Bowman performed with Tokyo Kosei at Mid-West last Dec. and they covered him up in spots...it's going to happen!). Just have fun, and enjoy the experience. You never know how many of these opportunities you will have, so make the best of it.
