    Mine starts on the 25th and it’s stressful because it’s hot and it’s from 8-5 for 2 weeks. And I’m not a social person. I’ve been last year and I wish I looked it up then because it was torment. Ours is luckily on a field because we have one for football and marching band and usually practicing around the same time. The heat and your feet hurting is the worst part
