Festival<\/a> season is upon us! It’s time to get your plans in order, buy your tickets, get your crew together, and most importantly, PACK. If you’ve been to a music festival, you know what to bring – the basics like tent, ticket, change of clothes, cooler, those are a given – but what about the items that can make your festival experience that much better, that much more fun and create the ultimate music festival experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The staff at NYS Music, experienced festivarians for the most part, have come up with some items you should consider for your festival packing list and bringing along with your this summer as you head out in the world of music festivals, especially throughout New York State where there are far more festivals than any other state in the country.<\/p>\n

Did we miss something? Let us know in the comments section what YOU consider a *must*bring*item* for music festivals.<\/p>\n

An external, battery-powered speaker.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Drinking and eating<\/strong><\/p>\n

A flask that turns a baby doll into a beverage container<\/a><\/p>\n

Extra toilet paper\/tampons<\/p>\n

Hoops, costumes, things for late night madness.<\/p>\n

Collaborative clothing: “There was a guy at moe.’s Tropical Throe.down this year who brought a white T-shirt that had maybe like the name of the fest and one lyric line printed on it. He brought markers, and the day he wore it, he had everyone he talked to sign it. He posted pics of it on the group Facebook when we all got home, and it was cool to see how it ended up – there were a lot of dicks and other silly pics, of course, but there were a lot of cool signatures and messages on it, too.” – Jess Collier.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
