This is a very important week for the success of our marching band season! These weeks can be tough and tiring on the students, so we really need parents to support their kids with lots of encouragement, as well as reminders about the importance of hydrating, eating well and getting plenty of rest. Here are few pointers to help your students have a positive, successful week!
-Bring a snack for our morning block on the field…this is a long time to be outside and a healthy snack that doesn’t contain a lot of sugar might be helpful. (avoid things that might melt)
-Keep Hydrated consistently throughout the day with water or gatorade/powerade. Students should not be drinking soda or energy drinks.
-Students must eat breakfast. Avoid lots of sugary cereals and dairy products which may not sit well with our physical activity.
-Get a good nights sleep
-Wear Sunscreen - bring extra and apply it often during the day. I promise, it is very uncomfortable to do this activity with a sunburn.
-Take a shower and wear deodorant. As a High Schooler this is a perfect time to make this a part of your daily hygiene routine. Your social life may depend on it!
Day 1 is going great and your students are wonderful!
