A tip for putting everything in your pack- but things in bags and stand them up on end. This lets you make neat compartments that you can get to without having to dig through layers of stuff. Another thing I like to do is grab a fitted sheet and put it over my bus seat so I can wash it
@ethanpierce3245 жыл бұрын

@gettingittogether4245 жыл бұрын
another couple tips are to roll your clothes instead of folding, it makes packing more compact and you don't have to dig for things, and when i auditioned for the scouts in 2010 they said to bring enough underwear and socks and rehearsal clothes to last about 2 weeks. have an extra of every "consumable" like pencils, hygiene items etc

can attest to sunglasses being important i'm not in drum corps, this incident actually happened to me in my high school band camp this summer i lost my sunglasses one evening, and i didnt have time the next day (or the next, next day) to find them, so i went two whole days of rehearsal with no sunglasses. i ended up sunburning my eyes, and it was incredibly painful. i couldn't see really at all, especially outside, it felt like everything was insanely bright, my eyes were super red; i had to go to the nurse in the afternoon three times to get two different kinds of eye drops, it was pretty bad. what made it worse is that i was on snare, and those kevlar heads just reflect all of the light back into your eyes *use sunglasses in rehearsal*

One thing that’s really important that I didn’t take into account my rookie season is rewearing shorts and shirts. I overpacked like crazy and brought about 14 white t-shirts, 5 black shorts for ensemble, and 5 sections shorts, as well as two shower towels. You will likely end up rewearing shirts and shorts no matter what, so just pack light. Maybe 3 or so pairs of section shorts or ensemble shorts depending on what your corps requires as well as maybe 6 or so white t shirts. You will only need one shower towel as long as you dry it adequately. Do NOT skimp on underwear (if you’re in an all male corps this seems to be different, so disregard) and do NOT skimp on socks. If you’re a brass player, you may want to bring a small bottle of vitamin E with you to put on your lips after a day of destroying your shops (please don’t go in the sun with this, your lips will burn). Also remember that with things such as aloe and vitamins, try to keep bottles small as it will get annoying fast when you have to tote around big bottles across the country. Hope this can help someone!

I know this comment was a long time ago, but I had the same exact thoughts as you. “You get COMPLETELY naked with a bunch of random strangers in a really weird shower.......?” And the answer is yes, you do. How I got over my fear of doing it was at my first audition camp at Regiment this year, I just felt so tired and dirty that I just said screw it and went in, because I wanted to get clean and turns out, that’s all everyone else wants too, you can just have a chill conversation with the dudes around you and get clean at the same time. I have never felt more relieved than after a shower after a long day of rehearsals, helps you sleep better too! Hopefully this helps if you’re auditioning for DCI. I’ll be marching mello at phantom this year!
