Day 1 - In the Books!

We did it! Day 1 of Band Camp was a solid success:

• Everyone made it through the whole day.
• No one threw up (it's happened before!)
• Everyone learned some marching basics - including the pit! 
• We played three songs as an ensemble - all the way through - at the end of the Very. First. Day. Including the opener. Seriously - that's a big deal.
• The guard got serious about stretching. SO important!
• So. Much. Water. And yet, everyone probably needs to consume even more.
• And, Mr. Mister!

So, now it's time for some good rest. Make sure to eat well, and continue to hydrate. 

See you in the morning!

I'm So Excited - I Just Can't Hide It... (yes, another classic pop music reference)

BAND CAMP IS TOMORROW!! Make sure you're ready!

• Get some good sleep tonight.
• It's going to be hot. Make sure to wear loose fitting clothing. A hat can be helpful.
• Bring your water bottle.
• Eat a nutritious breakfast. Good carbs and protein. Not a lot of sugar. Drink water.
• Wear close-toed shoes. No sandals, no flip-flops. No boots. No heels.
• Bring a nutritious lunch and some good snacks. 
• Make sure you have your equipment!

Are YOU ready? Here we go!!

BTW, we really do begin AT 8:30. 

So you should really be there no later than 8:15.
