- Water JUG (Note: I did not say bottle. I mean a very large container.)
- Tennis shoes (Forget any thoughts about looking good at band camp. No one's going to judge you on how ugly your tennis shoes are, but people will judge you if you wear cute shoes with no support. Also, your feet will be in excruciating pain when you get home.)
- Instrument in full working order + reeds
- T-shirt and shorts (Again with the whole function over fashion idea. It's going to be hot and I promise you'll be sweating buckets.)
- Sunscreen. No matter what skin color you are you can still get sunburnt, and even if you aren't one of those people who burns your skin is still being damaged by UV rays. Skin cancer is very scary and not something you want to have to deal with later in life because you were too lazy to put sunscreen on as a teenager. Sunburns can also turn into sun poisoning which can make you incredibly sick and is an absolutely terrible experience to be avoided at all cost.
Make sure you go to bed EARLY tonight. I know everyone is on summer time, myself included, but try to be in bed at a reasonable time and get 8-9 hours of sleep. Make sure all day today you are HYDRATING. Hydration is a 24 hour process! Drink as much water as you can (Stay away from soda from now until November--it makes you feel sick at practices.) because getting sick during band camp is an awful feeling and a horrible way to start the season.
And we're so excited to see a lot of you guys at the party tonight! Drive safe! :)
