No, the problem is that i'll be scared to play in front of a big crowd,
and my confidence will falter.

You have nothing to fear ma' boy. Fear is for the weak.
Be a man, grab your balls and play that crap.

You can't be afraid of talking in front of class or playing something in front of a crowd.
Just focus on your part, no one will blame you for doing what you are supposed to do.

And that's exactly what you will do. Being worried will do no good, fearing won't either.
Just relax, it's a just a concert anyway.
You don't have anything to fear unless there's a big guy holding a shotgun behind your back.

Don't fear. It's a performance of your skills. People are coming to hear you play, so give them what they want. A hell of a show. That's my opinion about performing. Also, if you can't stand the crowd, do what I did the first time. Focus on your music 100%. I was eye raping my guitar during my first stage performance.

Picturing people naked only sometimes helps. I found when i was younger an played in a band, that it helped to find a visual point between myself and the audience. I usually chose the Mic stand, or a monitor box. In your case, it would be the buttocks of the nearest gay man (and we know you already picture that naked and oiled up). Find a focal point, and stick to it. Dont focus on things beyond the stage, or youll get a bit nervous.

I think I know your problem. You're not supposed to suck when you play the flute, you're supposed to blow.

Hey, for district band I have to sit directly in the center of the front row. >.<

Oboe.

All the advice here for the most part would work.  I've never tried picturing any in the audience just because most of them would scar me for life I tried that.  (Most people are old... and fat that are interested in the stuff here.)

That's true, this worked for me when I played in a school band.
Oh, but I wasn't in front, though, I was in the back row.

You don't suck a flute, I think you're meant to blow into it.

You're too late, this has been said already.

I think I know your problem. You're not supposed to suck when you play the flute, you're supposed to blow.

Also, I disagree with your sig.

It's not supposed to. It's the internet. You're supposed to be ever-uncaring, just like everyone else.
