Snapettes Mom Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 One of drum corps dirty secrets is the smell of wet socks drying out in the gym. May you have a dry tour. Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein On The Beach Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 How about not having sandals in the shower, that ish sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I never wore sandals in the shower and I never had any sort of fungus on my feet. I think that's highly overrated. My feet are exceptionally nice looking to this day. I did have a rather nasty case of acne on my hindparts though... too much sitting on the bus I guess :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirefenix Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh how I hate rainy days on tour. Especially the summer when I forgot a second pair of shoes. I was miserable for the next 3 days. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashofthunder Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I never really wore sandals for the protection of my feet. Rather, I wore them to have that feeling of my feet finally being free from my shoes and socks. As for socks...that's one thing I always have PLENTY of. I'm frugal on most other things, but I usually bring one pair of socks for every three days, so that's like 30 pairs. I can't stand wearing dirty, crusty old socks. There's nothing like getting a new pair of socks on before a long day of rehearsal. If they get wet, then I usually don't bother keeping them. Considering the low amount it usually rains during the summer in the southern and western states, I usually don't end up losing many pairs. This past sumemr I threw away maybe 3 pairs of socks due to wetness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachariaswmb Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 What about when they're soaked through with sweat and dew? That's what happened most of the days with me. Tip for the rookies out there, make sure you never have to repeat a sock wearing between laundry days. Take extra!

Actually, no. People would wash their under armour, if that's what they chose to wear, but no socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fievel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) One of drum corps dirty secrets is the smell of wet socks drying out in the gym. May you have a dry tour. Mom Wow. I haven't been on tour in 14 years, yet the smell of rain-soaked sweaty clothing in a gym just came back... HARD! Gross..... yet a nostalgic good kind of gross.

raphael18 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The weat socks bothered you? I always thought the pile of nasty shoes by the door was the most obvious smell - downright offensive. Esspecially if you had one of those swampy fields in the deep south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
