Hi, good luck I'm sure you will do well. I've got a school concert soon, can't remember when, I'm not too nervous at the moment because I don't actually know what I'm playing! If I have a solo I will be and if not I won't. I'm sorry I haven't really got any advice for calming nerves, because when I get nervous I just remain so until I've finished the performance!

Good Luck with your grade 5 tommorow.[i am more worried about my grade 5]. It will be fine.

Good Luck also with your concert

Good luck! What I would do is when you're playing just try and close your mind down to everything, just concentrate solely on the sound and the notes and the music you are playing, I think all you can really do is just focus, focus, focus, at least thats what I do. Good luck! biggrin.gif
