I'm only 18. However, I've been playing shows for a while now. My first one, i was SO nervous, but I just said "hey... to hell with it. I'm here to have fun, if i do horrible.. who cares, i did what i came to do." The show went decently well, but keep in mind FIRST BAND SHOWS ARE NEVER VERY GOOD!!!! My band is now becoming VERY popular locally, and it's only been a year!
I know it sounds very conceited, but heres what you have to do... Be ****y. Tell yourself your good! Whether you are, or you arent. If you have reached your own personal standards that you set for your first show, then youre a monster behind that kit. Like me, I KNOW I'M FREAKIN AWESOME!!!! Doesn't mean I'm better than everyone else, but I know im good! That's all you need!
Besides, its originals. NOBODY KNOWS IF YOU MESS UP
Feel it man, it's easy. Eventually it goes away. However, note that you still get some sort of pre-show jitters every show. I still do, but really not bad. CAUSE I KNOW WE ROCK!!! :P
HAVE FUN MAN, dont let anything get you down.
