Hi! I'm about to audition for honor band. This is really important because it also determines my band and seating for this year and next year. Being my third year on Horn, I've gotten the required scales nailed into my brain and through and through, I feel very much prepared for the audition.

One problem though: I get crippling anxiety right when I enter. This year, the stakes are up, and I really don't want to be put in a lower band because I get nervous. What do you guys do to cool down before an audition?
