FLORIDA PACKING LIST
I will also attach the list below as a PDF to this email if it’s easier to print as a checklist for your packing assistance:
- Instrument and Accessories
- Marching Shoes/Black Socks
- Under Uniform (white shirt and shorts)
- Cambridge shirt for bus ride on Friday (anything Cambridge is fine, our show shirt is great)
- Personal Hygiene Items (toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, others as needed) Sleepwear
- “Bus Bag” (include any snacks, homework, games or movies, cell charger, water). Above “bus bag” can double as a show bag on Saturday and a beach bag on Sunday
- Saturday “bus bag” should have musical items, sunscreen, water bottle, etc.
- Beachwear for Sunday
- Sunday “bus bag” should include change of clothes for bus ride, and all other bus items from Friday
- Pack other clothes lightly as we won’t have much room in the bus bays after loading our uniforms and hat boxes.
- Under-uniform and uniform will be all that is needed for Saturday - it’s all about the show that day
- Sunscreen and bug spray will be good to add to the “bus bag” for Saturday and Sunday
- Pillow for bus is a plus - so is a sweatshirt/jacket
