A few tips for a successful camp:
- Bring water/sunscreen/other sun protection such as hats/sunglasses.
- Bring your full show music in a binder w/page protectors, as well as a pencil for writing in cues, drill checkpoints, etc.
- Finally, bring your "A-game." Come to camp ready to work hard and have fun. This means more than just having a positive attitude. You will be pushing your body to its limits, so make sure you're eating, drinking, and sleeping like a pro. Eat a combination of high-energy and sustained energy foods so you can keep going. Get plenty of water and sleep. Your body is going to do amazing things for you, so reward it for being awesome! You will come out of this a stronger person than you are now!
