How should students prepare for band camp?
Band camp practices are held the week before school starts. Students work outside for long periods of time (but are usually not outside for the whole day). To make the experience successful, students must stay well hydrated; start drinking fluids 24 hours in advance. Other band camp essentials include breakfast, sun screen, tennis shoes (no flip-flops) and practice Tee-shirts (which will be handed out at the first day of camp). Some tips on heat and sun safety are here.
