9 DAYS UNTIL BAND CAMP!

Hey! So we have almost a week until band camp and I hope you're all preparing! To all of the rookies, it's going to be harder than you think! Here's a list of everything that you should have by the first day.

1. A water jug. And when I say jug, I mean not a puny little water bottle, but something that will hold enough water to get you through hours out in the HOT sun. And fill them to the top! Trust me, even huge ones are going to be needed to be refilled multiple times! Preferably ones similar to this:

2. Sunscreen. Like I said, we're going to be outside the majority of the day, so sunscreen is a must have no matter if you don't think you burn or not! Because trust me, going through band camp with a sun burn is not fun.

3. Tennis Shoes. These pretty much speak for themselves, marching will be tougher and very uncomfortable without them.

4. Shorts and T-shirts. It's going to be hot, don't go for style, go for comfort! Anyways, everyone's going to be covered in sweat, and no one's going to care how you look.

5. YOUR INSTRUMENT! This also speaks for itself. Also extra reeds.

6. Pencils. Your section leaders will give you drill books and dot books (If you don't know what those are, they'll be explained later) and you're going to need a pencil to keep up with them, as well as notes for music. So it'll be best to be ahead and bring a pencil (and maybe a highlighter or two as well).

That's all for now! Be sure to get plenty of rest and drink LOTS of water!!!! See you all in 9 days!! YAY BAND!
