If you can try turning on the vacuum cleaner, turn your amp up to stage volume and set your tone.
If not then during your sound check get a very long guitar cable, get as near to the back of the hall as you can and have a good listen to your self with the rest of the band. What do you sound like ? Try turning your mids or bass down a bit if you want more definition. Also laying off on the distortion can help !
best of luck dude
