I don't play regular "concerts" but have subbed with Trad Jazz bands on occasion. I don't eat the day of the performance but fortunately these are in the afternoons from about 1 to 5 p.m. My stomach has a life of its own and therefore, I am kind to my stomach. I keep bottled water close at hand. The morning of the performance is when I check my reeds, all my supplies I may need. Anything I can think of that might come in handy, I will take along.
The day before is when I practice, practice, practice, especially if I have a song list. Sometimes I don't. Scary but true.
The day before is when I get my clothing ready so I don't have to rush around in the a.m. looking for that one particular shoe.
A pen and a little tablet is important in case somebody wants to hire you to play at Carnegie Hall, you will have something to write the date on!
If you have some business cards you might need for the Carnegie Hall gig, well take some along. Cell phone is important to have handy.
