Legal Question in DUI Law in Virginia

Underage Possession of Alcohol

I was charged with ''Underage Possession of Alcohol'' this Saturday night at WMZQ Fest at Nissan Pavillion. I am 17 years old. I have only recieved one prior ticket, a speeding ticket, to which i have already started traffic school for. My court date is the 18th of this month. What can I expect as a verdict? and is there any way to lessen my chances of punishment ahead of time before court? Is there anyway to prevent the suspension of my license? Should i write a letter of apology to Nissan and the Court?? thankyou.
