First time with orchestra

Hello!
Today I'm going to be writing more about how and what I feel than really giving any kind of advice really.
As you can see from the title, I will be performing first time in my life as a soloist with orchestra.  Tomorrow! I had 2 rehearsals so far and both went good so all I gotta do now is stay calm, practice some more and focus on what's important. Sounds too easy and too simple, right? But let me tell you from my experience: it's definitely not. At least not for me. There's always that what if  that's going on in my head. What if I lose my intonation, what if my bow breaks, what if my srtring breaks, what if I forget the notes, what if I mess up and make everything sound horrible, what if I dissapoint everybody and, most importantly, myself? Zigeunerweisen is quite a tricky piece. You can easily get lost, you can easily make a mistake. I can not even believe it's going to be ME that's going to perform with a professional orchestra. Alone. Tomorrow. I'm so nervous but I'll try to calm down before it affects my playing... Pray for me, please!
Thanks for reading!
I'll tell you all how it went on Sunday (if I'm still alive by then lol)
