Ante-penultimate concert tips
Hello everyone,
Well - here we are ;-)
A few things I have found to be helpful, vis-a-vis concert prep:
1. Eating carefully before and especially /on/ the day of the performance.
2. Making sure that I'm well-fueled (more than I think I'd usually need!) and well-hydrated before the performance.
3. Getting enough sleep!
4. Physical activity on concert day, for its own sake - to get the blood flowing
5. Stay away from alcohol between now and concert time, please. Many of you will also find it useful to limit or eliminate caffeine and sugary drinks on concert day.
CONCERT ATTIRE GUIDELINES ARE ON PAGE 4 OF THE SYLLABUS!!! Take time to review these and to govern yourself accordingly. We are not wearing uniforms - but we DO need to project an atmosphere of overall "uniformity."
S/A needing long black (dresses, tops, skirts) - I recommend Deseret.
find them on FB here and here
NOTE! Anyone with special issues regarding attire, please discuss them with Doc asap if you have not already done so. Thank you.
Do not smoke in your concert outfit.
Do not wear scented products (perfume, cologne, aftershave, scented shampoo/soap/body gel, etc. It may be useful to have a stash of scentless products marked specifically for concert wear!
DO WEAR DEODORANT.
BAD IDEAS!!
Alcohol: Look here:
Smoking (tobacco and marijuana)
---
Please pamper yourselves a bit right now.
---
Rest well, eat well, stay hydrated, keep on keeping on with score study/listening/fixing "spots" - and invite EVERYONE to this event!
In musical solidarity,
Lee
