only advice i can give is NEVER STOP PLAYING!! even if you have no idea whats going on, never stop. i'm not sure how that applies to an orchestra, but in a band, if you stop playin you're cooked.

Nerves are what makes you perform at your best.
You'll find a sudden rush come as soon as pick up your instrument and you will not look back.
Trust me playing live is fun

Run around a bit. Running helps the heart and eating is good but then running straight after is not good. So run first then eat and drink. Walk a lot too.
