Pre-concert routine

Hello. I was curious how other oboists prepare for a performance.

Certainly no professional here but a dedicated amateur.

I don't practice the day of a concert. But the week up to I practice every day.

I hate to admit this but recently I have to eat right before a concert or I get dizzy. I carry a toothbrush in my case for that reason. I also drink tons of water cause it's so HOT on stage, our dress code is all black. I'd rather be too warm than not, so my fingers don't get too stiff.

What does everyone else do? Anything I'm missing that could make a concert easier?
