BAND CAMP SURVIVAL GUIDE
- Take time to eat a good breakfast. Get up a few minutes early if you need to, but make sure you EAT before you come to camp. You might even want to eat a little more than you normally do for school.
- BRING WATER! Although we have water coolers and cups available, those really won’t be able to provide you with amount of liquid you need. Drink often and drink more than you think you should. Water breaks are for drinking water – enjoy the company of your friends, but don’t forget to drink fluids.
- USE SUNSCREEN AND BUG REPELLENT.
- Wear t-shirts and shorts. Tank tops may seem cooler, but actually expose more of your body to the sun.
- Wear substantial sneakers. Running shoes are the best since they provide the most cushioning. Chuck Taylor’s are acceptable, but often don’t provide the ankle support and ball of foot cushioning to be very comfortable (especially during backwards marching).
- Be ready to march in light rain and have rain gear. We will be marching in all weather except thunderstorms!
- BRING A POSITIVE, COOPERATIVE ATTITUDE. Nothing can beat it!
- HAVE FUN. This is going to be a great year, and you are already part of a GREAT group – the 2010 Marching Rebels!
