Couch to Music Festival: Parents Training Guide
Again, while this applies to Wango Tango, the program easily adapts to Coachella, Stagecoach, or other festivals.
- ATTIRE: Most music festivals take place outdoors during the spring or summer. Some experience significant temperature changes from day to evening – the more you dance, the less you’ll notice.
- WHAT’S HOT: Crazy Loosey
- Loose flowing clothes – Slightly stretchy, cut-outs. Clothes that won’t interrupt your groove but breeze blows through – all while fiercely flattering.
- WHAT’S HOT: Crazy Loosey
- Accessorize – Hats or glasses required! Red sunburned faces or eyes aren’t cool – ever. Keep hats streamlined to not hinder people’s views.
- Cute compression socks – Crazy socks are in! Concert-goers will applaud as your wild socks with cute boogie shoes outdance them
- Comfy shoes – if you can find something in a boot or chunky heel, you’ll be above the crowd for best viewing!
WHAT’S NOT: Mom or dad jeans
- FUELING: Eat to stay strong for your music marathon:
- HYDRATION vs RAGING – While there are tons of fun drinks in the festival, try to drink to hydrate:
- Alternate – Every other drink alternate between water and soda or alcohol
- Combine – Gatorade Margaritas, they’re real!
- ALL-DAY FUELING – Eat a protein-filled breakfast with light carbs, preferably whole fiber. Consider bringing snacks to ensure your energy lasts all night long! The festival contains quick pick-me-up options but watch out for the crash!
- HYDRATION vs RAGING – While there are tons of fun drinks in the festival, try to drink to hydrate:
- MEDALS OF COMPLETION:
- ROCK-N-ROLL VOICE: Even with voice training, you’re apt to get some sexy, smoky voice. Time to re-do your phone voicemail!
- EVENT JERSEY: Not only do you and fellow jersey-wearers share an instant bond, it’s a badge of pride that you went the distance!
- ASSUAGED STRESS/MIDLIFE SYMPTOMS: With great tunes, views, and artists you’re bound to recapture your youthful spirit and strengthen family/friendship bonds! Clapping and dancing blows away stress leaving you more centered. Adrenaline highs boost productivity
Stay loose and have crazy fun! Let me know if this plan gets you into the groove to go all night or makes you look forward to your event with renewed vigor!
Let me know if I forgot anything and what music festivals you will hit!
Ugh, I really love bohemian outfits! I wish I could fit in one and attend a music festival. <3
I hear you! I figure whatever makes you feel feminine, flirty and a bit wild works even if not exactly those styles! Thanks for wandering by!
I really need to make my way to one of these festivals. I feel like I’m missing out!
I haven’t even finished the one -day event but seeing all the pix coming from Coachella makes me want to do a multi-day event for sure! Let me know when you decide on one! Thanks for wandering by!
