Band Camp Pt. 2

The soreness of muscles. The dehydration. The long days in the sun. The first day is fine. Except for the sunburn because you didn't realize how much sunscreen you need to apply. But on the second day, it goes downhill. The effects of the first day blast you in the face, but impact your entire body. The dehydration starts slowly, and builds. The sunburn stings, but thankfully, you know to keep your body lauthered in sunsreen. The third day, even worse. You're working through the physical and mental effects of the first and second days. Now your back hurts. You can't bend down comfortably. You don't realize how much your feet hurt until you sit down. But at least you're drinking enough water now. The fourth is a little better. You know how to deal with the aches. But it's still there. The last day, you're ready to drop. You can't stand it any longer. And at the end of rehearsal, you drop to the ground in relief. You realize, it's over. At least for now.
