How do you shake this off?

Like many musicians in the US, July 4 is a busy day. My community band , in which I play principal clarinet, played at the local city 4th of July observance. One of our pieces was a version of "Sing,Sing,Sing" arranged for concert band. I asked for, and got, the opportunity for an extended solo in the middle which in rehearsals went well. Today's performance -- not so good. Dry reed, some chirps, and I couldn't reach that high Bb not matter what. We have a couple more concerts when we'll perform it again and they'll probably they'll go better. But----geez, the whole freakin' city was there today, and I feel that I just sucked. Question for you seasoned performers --- how do you get past a not-so-good performance? Thanks for letting me vent....
