Drink a lot.............of water. Hydration 1st. Don't attach any type of fireworks to your bass.

Show up early and do a sound check. Make sure you have all your gear. Don't play songs you don't know. Don't worry about things too much - be fun and have fun - it's a party.

+1 to Crazyeelboy and remember stage presence counts especially if you have an actual audience and definitely have fun with it don't stress out over the little stuff, show up early enough to set up, meet and greet, and thank the host for the opportunity to play, even if its not a paying gig that'll get you good recommendation points Good Luck and Happy Fourth!!!
