Tips for Marching Band

  • Wear something under your marching uniform. It makes getting out of them much more convenient and you never know when you're going to need to unzip.
  • Bring water. Every other person says it and I will too. Dehydration impedes concentration and judgment skills.
  • Eat beforehand if your director does not allow you to eat in the stands. 
  • Make sure your marching shoes are available for quick grabbing.
  • If you fall, get up and find your steps as quickly as possible. It looks better than running off the field in indignation. Expect to be trampled in the process. 
  • Entirely forgo the makeup unless your director explicitly told you to wear it. It is likely to fall apart during marching band and feel tacky as well as distract from the uniformity of the band.
  • Breakouts? The RapidClear Stubborn Acne Daily Leave-On Mask works wonders. Apply it in the morning and go about your day as normal. The product is quite powerful, so I strongly advise doing a patch test.
  • Wear an antiperspirant/deodorant. If you get a rash, switch products. Tom's of Maine makes these aluminum-free and with natural ingredients. 
  • Have fun with it.
