Summer Band Finally Underway!

Now that there is a new band director in place, summer band can finally get going!  Here are some important tips to surviving summer band:

1. Eat a good breakfast before practice!  Without that fuel, you'll crash and burn quickly!
2. Bring water!  Find a way to carry that water bottle.  It will need to travel with the kids during their marching routes.  A bag perhaps?
3. Wear good shoes!  We suggest good athletic shoes, something with support.  Marching shoes should be saved for parades and competitions.
4. Wear sunscreen!  Apply before practice and then bring some with you to apply again during practice!
5. Wear a hat!  The sun gets hot and bright!
6. Have fun!  This is the best time to bond with your section and the rest of the band.  Find the joy!
