*Avoid caffeine
*Avoid medications that numb your throat
*Drink lots of water
*Warm up your voice well before the concert, but don't overdo the warm-up.

mmm, apples clear out your throat quite a bit :) avoid coffee and thick drinks! coffee kills your voice.

i'm not quite sure, but i've heard of a teaspoon vegtable oil working wonders.... but i can't speak for it, i'm a band geek. sry. but let me know if it works.....

well it might be too late but you should NOT have dairy the day of a concert!!! STOP if you're about to eat anything with dairy... haha it damages your vocal chords

also warm up with some scales sing:
AYY-EEEE-AHHH-OHHH-EWWW

:)

Try sipping hot tea with a twist of lemon and sweetened with honey. It always helps me before I sing.

Never do a concert without doing warm-up exercises. Singing is an athletic event and your vocal cords are muscles that need some stretching before a long period of singing.
