Preparing for band rehearsal -- be Weather Wise!
Consider the following items for EACH day of rehearsal:
- Proper footwear
- Proper layers -- the weather WILL change over the course of the day!
- Sunblock
- Insect repellant
- Clothespins for sheet music used outdoors
- Sunglasses/Hat
- Allergic to insect bites? Make sure you have proper medication!
- Proper fluids to last for the full rehearsal -- water is best; sodas or other sweet or "energy" drinks are worst
- PRE-HYDRATE -- if you have a long rehearsal ahead, begin drinking additional fluids up to 24 hours beforehand!
- Proper energy foods -- sweet/sugary snacks will NOT help you!
