TMB Camp Day 1 Complete!
It was a hot one, but the students did a great job!
Preparing for the heat this week
- Make sure to drink plenty of water each day before band camp and when you get home each day. Also, make sure to have water at camp each day. We have coolers of water you can use to refill your bottle during the day.
- Sports drinks can be good to help replenish electrolytes and can help with some rehydration, but may also contain a lot of sugar, so be careful of how much you drink of them.
- Stay away from heavy, fried foods or lots of dairy at lunch.
- Make sure to eat something for breakfast and lunch each day. Bring a snack for water breaks as needed. Eat a good dinner when you get home each night.
- Try to eat some fruit or other healthy options to replenish the fuel you're expending.
- Wear clothes that are lighter or breathable to try to stay cool.
- Make sure to wear sunscreen and reapply throughout the day.
- Hats and sunglasses can help protect your eyes from the sun. TMB sunglasses are available for purchase for $5. 😉
- We will do water breaks often, especially as it gets hotter this week. However, as we said in camp today, if you need water or a quick break, please take one. Listen to your body and do what you need to do to keep yourself healthy and safe. Let your section leader know if you need a break or need something.
- Make sure you are signed up for Remind in case we need to change anything about rehearsal due to heat.
