Pack my dinner for nights 1+2 of tech (as pit)
Hey guys! Tonight is the first of many 7 hour rehearsals I have ahead of me as I enter into my first tech week in years 😬 I’m playing trumpet in the pit of a production of guys and dolls, and I’m pretty excited! But as most musicians know, March can be quite the hectic time for concerts so more than ever I have been focusing on providing myself with filling and healthy meals as well as finding time to stay active and to focus on my mindfulness. Good luck to everyone entering into their own tech weeks right now!
Tech week can be a challenging time for musicians, especially with the long hours and demanding schedules. As you prepare for rehearsals, balanced meals can make a significant difference in energy levels. For instance, a ranch pasta salad provides carbs and veggies, and can be prepped in advance. Snacks like gouda-flavored pretzels and sliced strawberries are perfect for quick boosts during breaks. Staying hydrated is also essential, so don't forget your water bottle! Mindfulness is crucial during such busy times; consider simple meditation techniques or short walks to keep your stress at bay. Good luck to everyone navigating their own tech weeks, and remember, proper meal prep can keep you performing at your best!
good luck
