- I think that the Freelancers practice 10 AM to 10 PM during the summer.
- At first, I wondered why they would waste so much cool daylight
- (from sunrise to 10 AM) and practice in the heat. Later, I
- reasoned that since the corps has to compete late at night,
- the practice schedule was chosen to keep the marcher's
- "body clocks" on regular time.
-
- I just read a posting where someone mentioned practicing rather
- early in the day.
-
- What experiences have others had, and do you think I'm right about
- the reason for not starting early in the day?
-
- A related question: Did anyone ever burn their lips on a mouthpiece
- that was left sitting in the sun?
