Eh, I just had one of my recitals today confused
It's not actually that bad, once I stand up all my fears go away, seriously. One thing to keep me sane while waiting is thinking about something I was told, "It's not about how well you do, it's about having the guts to even perform at all." Or something like that... It's true for nearly everything we have to do in life which requires us to stand in front of people.

Focus on something other than the audience! That has always worked for me.

Although, it's easy for me since I'm short and don't shake when I'm performing...

When performing a show, I remind myself that people are watching me even though I don't look at them while doing so. If you have no choice but to look towards the audience though, try looking above their heads so that you don't get as nervous.

Just stay focused on what YOU have to do, not anyone else.

Of course, experience always helps. The more you perform, the easier it gets... If you have a solo performance or anything like that, try having a little 'recital' in front of just your friends or some band kids. If you know you can do it by yourself, or in front of your friends, then you know you can do it in front of everyone. :3

Good luck!
