In the days before your contest, make sure that your tuning is spot on, and take note of how much playing it takes for your drones and chanter reed to settle in and become steady and how long they stay that way. Make sure you give yourself enough time before your contest for that to happen, and leave some extra time in case of emergency.

Practice, practice, practice: focus on those points that are still rough.
