Staying hydrated is one of the most important parts of surviving band camp safely and successfully. Long rehearsals in summer heat can quickly lead to fatigue, headaches, cramps, and heat exhaustion if students are not drinking enough water and replacing electrolytes throughout the day.
These are commonly used hydration and cooling essentials for marching band rehearsals, summer camps, and performance days.
Water Jugs & Bottles
A large insulated water container is one of the most important band camp purchases. Students should always have easy access to cold water throughout rehearsal and competition days.
