11. Water jug (1/2 gallon minimum; does not have to be the blue one purchased at Equipment Night) or Camelbak (or equivalent)
    • Updated 7/27: Water jugs ordered on equipment night will NOT be distributed the first day of Summer Band because the equipment items have not yet been delivered. Camelbaks are highly recommended for rehearsals. (not required)
    • Blue water jugs (the one from equipment night) are used for football games and should only have the student’s name and instrument on them.  Stickers and other decorations need to be removed.
12. Athletic shoes

13. Athletic t-shirt (white) and shorts (no jeans or long pants)

    • Eliminate soft drinks and energy drinks from your diet
17. Eat a quality breakfast and drink lots of water before rehearsal
    • Do NOT eat a big bowl of sugary cereal or pop-tarts.  You will end up feeling terrible and/or “feed the birds”.

    • A 1/2 banana is always good for potassium
