The best things to do is to know the piece so well you can play it in your sleep and then just relax. Unless you guys have pyro and some other fancy effects, the only thing you can do is give a sincere interpretation of the tune and let people make of it what they will. Don't force it because then you run the risk of looking like a douche. There is nothing worse than watching someone try too hard on stage.

I think what you need to affirm in your mind is that you know this piece backwards and forwards. Know that your teacher knows you can nail it and wouldn't have put you in this position if you couldn't handle it.
The best thing to do while performing is to try and connect with the piece and think of what it means to you and convey that and your love for the piano to your audience. Mentally block them out and play just for yourself or spot one person in the audience and focus on playing for them and not 2000 people.
I know you will do well if you keep this in mind and just go out there and forget about anything else. Don't be bothered with what they think because you can't control it. Do your best and leave it at that.
You might also want to design your own lighting and have images that relate to the song as your backdrop so even those in the worst seats can connect with you at the piano. Just a thought as it does work well.
