Take your nervous energy and transfer it to pure charismatic energy. It's the best way ^^
Good luck, and rock some serious socks =) -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

When you're on stage just picture yourself naked.... or was it the audience
 No really, I think you should get together with the band a couple of hours before the gig, sit down a talk about the gig in a relaxed way. Have fun and don't take it too seriously! If you do up on stage feeling relaxed and with the intention to have fun it will be nothing but fun up there  Start with an easy song!!!!!! Gives you a chance to feel the monitors (medhörning) and the stage and just get a bit warmed up before starting for real.

You could just get drunk... You'd probably mess up everything, but it wouldn't bother you

Just put on a positive attitude like : " I'm gonna play my best tonight" and think about it whole day
Competitions bring additional pressure but you will notice that even if you get nervous on stage , that pressure will make you even more concentrated and that you will play even better...So just try to relax with band and think positive thoughts! I'm sure you will do well!

You can only do one thing... go on stage and rock the place, give your best and don't worry about anything else. All the other bands will most likely be as nervous as you are in the moment, thats normal, just don't let it take over. Just focus on your songs and your guitar, do your thing and don't worry about the competition, the audience or the other bands, just see it as a normal gig. And forget about drinking, this never helps, you will just play worse.
