Dehydration is something we all want to avoid. There are many symptoms: dizziness/lightheaded, headache, confusion, dry mouth, sleepiness/fatigue, extreme thirst, dark urine, or little to no urine. Symptoms may appear more quickly in some people than in others. The higher the temperature, the higher is our need for water. None of this information is new to any of us parents, but we cannot stress enough how important it is to communicate this to your student. Band camp is hard work. It’s important to remain well hydrated.
Your student’s health is paramount. Water is essential to our body’s ability to function efficiently. During marching band rehearsals and camps, it is extremely important to have an adequate supply of water at all times. We recommend having a gallon-sized water jug for your student instead of a 20-oz travel mug. The picture below shows the mind-boggling difference between the two sizes. We also recommend you have this jug ready to go for the first mini-camp of the season. Don’t forget to put your student’s name on it!
