The Common Sense Guide to Band Camp
 
Things to do soon:
Get acclimated to the heat: The week before Band Camp starts, begin to spend more time outdoors.
Get hydrated: The week before Band Camp starts, drink plenty of water.
Get a container for water: Make sure you have a container for water and/or a small cooler to bring water in. It is NOT a good idea to freeze the water-often it does not melt before your child is badly in need of a drink. Every person needs his/her own water. NO SHARING. Sharing takes too long and is not healthy.
Make sure you have cool clothes. (Cool as in "lack of heat"--not as in "fashion"  : )
This will probably include a (white) T-shirt, a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, shorts, socks, low top tennis shoes, and/ or bug spray (if you feel the need).

This will NOT include any black clothes (they draw heat to you), high top tennis shoes, Birkenstocks, sandals, flip flops, long pants, jewelry, or perfume.
