Anxiety Attack

I have a band concert tonight and I have two parts that are similar to solos. I feel so overwhelmed and my heart won't stop beating really fast. I almost lost it in band practice. I don't know how to keep fromworrying so much. I feel like I'm going to ruin the whole performance and everyone will be mad and they'll make fun of me. It won't be the first time something like this happened >.<

I just want to disappear so badly right now! :(

Before hand, or whenever you're feeling anxious, take some deep breaths. When I was in orchestra, if I messed up, I'd just play it off, ya know? I'm sure you'll do great, but if something happens, you can always try to make a joke of it, when people see you laugh at yourself for a simple mistake, they have a harder time holding it against you. If that makes sense.
