Stage Fright

I hate playing in front of people.

The other day I was helping out my band director with beginning band for extra credit. He asked me to demonstrate one of those passages in that essential elements book.

Yet even with something as simple and unimportant as that, my fingers started shaking, I couldn't breath correctly, all sense of musicality in my playing turned to dust.

When I was finished, my stomach felt like acid was rumbling around to the point where I wanted to throw up, and my entire body was shaking as if I were going through the after shocks of an adrenaline rush.

Do you guys have any tips? Any related stories? I am tired of this happening to me!
