Problem encountered and how it was solved or managed.

Today's band practice was a total disaster. My conductor went through three pieces, Disney Princess Medley, First Love~Addicted to you and American Graffiti XVI. I am assigned to play the solo in American Graffiti XVI. When my senior informed me to get ready to play the solo, I was very nervous. My heart was pumping like a train and I can barely pitch the notes.
All my seniors tried to calm me down, help me relax and kept going through the part. It took me quite a while before I was able to play the solo, but I know very well that it was not up to standard. As the piece was practiced after the break, I made full use of the break to practice my solo. I went to consult my conductor for pointers and places to improve.
After the break at 11.25 a.m., the band went through American Graffiti XVI, which I was not really confident about. My conductor gave me a look, trying to give me confidence. I was slightly more confident because of the signal given by my conductor.
My solo is around the middle of the song, where the whole band will reduce in volume so I will produce the most outstanding sound. No good, especially when I have no confidence. As my part came, I was nervous to the state of trembling and fast heart beats.
When the conductor cued me in, I tried my best to play the solo, hoping not to screw up. Better than expected, I only played a few wrong notes. The conductor went on with the piece after the solo.
After band practice, I went to see the conductor to seek help on confidence problem and the solo in general. My conductor kindly assisted me and taught me techniques to prevent errors.
During debriefing, the conductor, band major and student conductor praised me for the good effort and nice melody. I felt awesome when I hear them say that. Having solos are simply great, especially when it is nice and you can play it well.
