The only thing we need you to bring (besides any equipment we have already contacted you about) is your music and a sense of humor.
And, if you indicated you will bring your Burgundy Oktobellfest Polo, bring that. For the performance you will wear the burgundy shirt. You need to wear something on your bottom half: but we don't care what.
Gloves? Totally ringers' choice, unless you've been contacted directly. (row 4 needs to wear gloves). Sunshine cloths! We always wipe down after each rehearsal. Drink holster? Yes!
In the past people wish they had stand lights, risers, and it can get warm in the rehearsal room.
Maybe you want to join us in a quick dip in the ocean on Sunday bright and early? Bring something that can get wet. Consider purchasing an official Oktobellfest Robe and or Fleece for the walk back to warmth while wet!
Maybe a spare pair of glasses -- just in case?
Other than that, just check the weather. You might need to park and walk a little to the Armory.
