That's awesome Rasta-Masta. Good luck and I hope you have a great show. Playing live is so much fun. You'll get a taste of it and you'll be hooked. Just go and enjoy yourselves, go with the flow, and don't freak out if something goes wrong.

Something my band used to do before some of our first gigs was set up our jam space like a stage. Get used to the idea of not always looking at eachother while we played. If you have some lights you could even set those up and shine them toward you guys. Figure out your set list well in advance and play it like you're playing live.... over and over again.

Sample00: We played in Edson a few years ago and they were an awesome crowd. Not nearly as big as your show, but we played almost all originals and they ate it up.
