BAND CAMP WEEK IS HERE!!

 Oh my goodness - Band Camp is only three days away!

What do you need to know??

• It's gonna be HOT HOT HOT! So YOU need to hydrate before we get started. Drink at least four 8oz glasses of water every day between now and then. Your eventual goal is eight glasses. Yes, it will make you pee more. That’s OK.
• It will be sunny. Sunscreen is your friend. And Carmex or Blistex.
• Drink water.
• A hat will protect your head.
• Light colored loose fitting clothing will be helpful.
• We wear shirts and shorts. We don't wear jeans. Tee shirts and tank tops are great.
• Drink water.
• Good closed-toed shoes are a must. No boots, no flip flops. No bare feet. Also, no bear feet.
• Marching band is very physical. Over the next two days, spend at least 20 minutes, three times each day involved in good physical activity.
• Drink more water.
• Your body needs fuel to do good work. Eat lean protein, healthy grains, good fruits and veggies. Soda and coffee are NOT your friends. And eating healthy food before coming to Band Camp is essential. Just like a car, your body doesn’t run without fuel.
• Make sure you are practicing your instrument EVERY DAY. 
• Water is the elixir of all goodness.
