Laurakemb Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 drum corps = cancer tans!I would love to know the % of drum corps kids who end up with a form of skin cancer... or at the very least, extreme skin damage.. my guess is 99.99999% After I aged out from 4 summers of drum corps, I went to see a dermatologist, as I have very fair skin. Despite putting on sunscreen religiously and even wearing pants and long sleeve shirts at times, I still have fairly extensive skin damage. So far I've had 3 pre-cancerous moles removed, with more to come and I'm only 27 years old. The moral of the story? WEAR SUNSCREEN. At least SPF 45, and reapply during every break you possibly can. Even wear it on cloudy days, because UV rays come straight through clouds. If you can, wear lightweight long sleeve shirts and pants. It doesn't make you that much hotter than your friend who wears a bikini/shorts. Having a tan is not worth the problems you will experience later in life, trust me!
