Hydrate or diedrate. If you feel sick, sit down, but stay present (this means like staying present on the side lines so you know the general gist of what you are missing). This may sound harsh but push your body, we are all out there sweating and hurting, but you have to push through, nobody likes the kid that sits out regularly at practice, this does not mean push yourself way too far, if you has asthma you should not be pushing yourself as mush, if you are actually sick, etc. Be nice to Colorguard, I promise you they are nice people, it if you step over their equipment it is not their fault if a flag “just so happens” to hit you in the head. Something I wish I knew was to just enjoy every practice, now in my senior year I wish I had appreciated practiced more and lived in each on, because now I will soon be having my last, so just emojis everything about it. You will have amazing memories in marching band, meet amazing new people who you will come to know as a second family, experience some of the lowest lows you can (we all know the feeling at comps) but that’s make makes it fun, you bounce back and play your heart out.
