There are some things that you can do to help yourself in the future:
Hydrate well beginning 48 hours before performance. Have sung straight
through your recital a minimum of one times before presenting it in
public. Work out any technical issues in any song before doing it in
public. Don't fatigue yourself before the recital by over
singing/tiring yourself out etc. to the point where you're not fresh.
Rest well and don't talk a lot beforehand. All I do the day of a
performance is sleep, eat, shower and get into makeup and costume, warm
up and perform. Make sure you're connected to your breath by doing
breathing exercises as part of your warm ups. >>

and make sure to serve chocolate cake at the reception- it doesn't show
the dirt.
