Dress neatly and professionally, take a couple of copies of your resume, and try to arrive a little bit early. If you have someone who cna help you practice an interview over the weekend, do it, as doing so will probably make you less nervous when you get to the real thing.

lexa mentioned some good suggestions. I agree. Apart from those, I would also recommend you to "practice" a little bit the interview at home, especially the questions-answers sequence. Have a look at some possible questions your interviewers might ask you and try to offer some fictive answers. This is a very good way of preparing yourself because the moment you'll be asked, you already know what to say and will appear very relaxed and confident.
Have a look at the cvtips interview questions index and choose whatever you think it matches your situation:

Yeah, knowing what you might say in response eliminates uncomfortable pauses and makes you look more confident and capable. Anticipate hard questions beforehand, and know what you might say.
