1. Make sure you have enough food, water, and rest in between shows. If you don’t, you won’t make it.
2. DEODORANT! It could be a while in-between showers! When the chance arises, take a shower and put on that deodorant afterwards. You’re going to be around each other, and no one likes to smell bad. Hand Sanitizer too! It could help keep you from getting sick.
3. Pack replacement gear! Strings, picks, drumheads, drumsticks, and even a strap or two. Stuff will break! Plan ahead too – if you need to replace anything, make sure you can find a music store locally or close to your next show.
4. Don’t invade people’s space! You could be cramped in a car or van for hours, and the happier everyone is, the easier things go.
5. As a singer, TAKE CARE OF YOUR VOICE! Don’t overdo it. It takes too long to recover.
