I agree with everything Nick said.
I just got home from a long hard gig after and long hard OUTDOOR gig last night. P;laying lead in a big band.
His advice is right on. No lip balms here.

Pace yourself. If you're on lead, lay out on unison passages if you can get away with it. Don't take the last note up an ocatave. Bring the dynamics back one notch. Take the mouthpiece off of your chops on rests. That last partr may seem simple enough, but I have seen so many players keep the mouthpiece on their chops during three and four bar rests, as if they're afraid they'll forget the set.

This is a GREAT bit advice!
Thanks Nick!
