Immediately after playing on stage, eat something. Preferably bring something with you to the hall - something bland and familiar, just to fill your stomach and keep the growls away. You may have a long or short wait until you play again. Your body needs nourishment, so eat immediately to allow it to settle before playing again.
Continue your regimen of drinking water and above all, keep up your attitude of concentration. Don't bother over-analyzing your recent performance. Resolve to play the next round even better, and stay away from that trombone! You have no idea how many rounds you may yet have to play. At this point, as the number of competitors begins to dwindle, don't feel surprised that you have gotten as far as you have. Remember that your promotion to the next round is your just reward for the diligent work you have done over the preceding months and years.
