- Notes and Suggestions
Put water bottle on the top of your list for safety. Sunscreen should be near the top.
Another high priority is sturdy comfortable walking shoes that have been broken in. You will need more film than you think. 2-3 bath towels are good. Bandannas make good washcloths that dry quickly and have many others uses. A few clothespins will come in handy. A summer weight or polar fleece sleeping bag will take up less room. A waterproof cushion, like a stadium seat, makes arena shows more comfortable.Elevated seats not permitted at the shows. A small battery operated fan can bring welcome relief in a hot tent at night. Medication need to be in orginal containers. Medication cards will need to be completed and turned in at check in. Baby powder (sore feet). You will need stuff to do for the long hours on the bus.
