jwillis35 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well, let's hope those kids are ok and pray for their health. And the corps just need to go on the busses or in the school and get some air conditioning for a while. They need to do what the police tell them. If they have to start the show later when it is cooler, then so be it. Here's to no more heat-related illness and to a good show tonight.

Krista Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 interesting.... the weather says it's 100 in Pittsburg, and that the heat index is 103. I forget what kind of field that is.... just grass if I'm not mistaken. Hope those sent to the hospital are ok. but I'm not sure about the 130 temp.

et_hd_rider Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Just got off thye phone with my son who is on staff with Cap Reg and said it was 7 guard members that were dehydrated. Everyone else in the corps is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsgeek4life Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Pitt State also has a auxiliary band camp in progress. Part of the camp involves drum corps activities. My daughters are at the camp - staff and participant. The report is that it is HOT!!! Dealing with the drum corps is one thing --- they either KNOW from experience or have staff to help advise. The difficulty is with the high school kids that don't know what to do and haven't developed the respect for their bodies. They keep sneaking off to get pop to 'hydrate' themselves. I understand the for the most part, the corps kids are just lying around - everything seems to be going in slow motion. For the most part, those outside seem to quickly take care of business and then collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krista Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 it's cool. that number just sounds a bit..... inflated. that's all. that's not to say that it isn't hot, or that it's not causing issues. I'm not far from there, and it's way hot here too. (96 with a heat index of 107 here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
