Yes. Stay hydrated to survive the heat. If possible, hold off on the alcohol until after the sun goes down. I've got my fingers crossed that the mild weather of the past couple of years will continue!
And watch your salt intake. We've indulged in salty breakfasts for years at Bonnaroo (Spam, bacon, sausage, more Spam...) but it caught up with me last year in the form of swollen ankles. Three risk factors for swelling: Old age, being on your feet all day, and salt intake. Work with what you got!
OK I read somewhere that if you take prescription meds that you should bring them in their original bottles. Well, that's a PITA--when I travel I just stick as many as I need in a baggie...have y'all heard the same thing or heard of anyone getting hassled by having loose pills?

a friend of mine had to get ID'ed every time she entered centeroo with her prescription pills to ensure they were hers. not sure how strict the protocol is, but I do remember once she was forced to throw some out because she didn't have the prescription with her.

Best to be safe and bring the prescription bottle I'd say

100% bring your original prescription bottles. You do not want the hassle of explaining your baggie of random pills. I know its a pain but it will save you time and energy.

I use the old people pill organizer for mine, and keep it with my toiletries. I've never been questioned when we enter the campgrounds. I don't take any meds into Centeroo.

I have one of those day things for my pills. I just put it in my bag with my clothes and have never had a problem. if you need to bring them into centeroo then they need to be in the original bottles but I've never had an issue with getting them thru the tollbooth.
They matched my I'd up with my perscription allergy med every time.
So I need to bring the boxes for my prescriptions? All my allergy scripts come in boxes that you open and take the disperser out of. There is nothing on the actual dispenser, my meds are Flonase, Asthmanex, and Vintolin inhaler. And my inhaler goes everywhere with me.

Oh I forgot I do bring my albuterol inhaler into centeroo but no one has ever asked about it in 9 years.

If they're inhalers, I don't think I'd be too worried. Pills are a completely different matter though, imo. Keep in mind though, this is coming from someone who's never taken medication to 'roo

Jumping on this, if I'm bringing my anti-depressants with me can I bring the whole prescription bottle or am I only allowed to bring the amount that I'll need? I thought I remembered seeing somewhere on Bonnaroo's site that you are only allowed to bring enough prescription medication for yourself for the duration of the festival in the original bottle...I don't really feel like dumping out 70 pills in a bag. Maybe I have one of the old bottles that I can put a few pills in.
Inhalers should be fine, not much recreational abuse of those. The antidepressants are another thing. If you're just planning to bring them to camp fine but if you plan to bring them into Centeroo you will run into problems.
Whenever driving, I always suggest to people that they bring their prescription bottles with them. If you happened to get pulled over, it's one less hassle in terms of your interaction with the police. I think the same thing applies when going to a big music festival and your possible interactions with Centeroo security/bag checkers.

I would have no reason to need mine in centeroo either, and as much as it is a cliche I also use an old people organizer. At least my organizer is only a once a day one...my 92 year old MIL has one with 28 compartments on it!
Yeah, I use the old lady pill organizer with the twice a day tabs. I am now taking 15 pills a day without counting vitamins. Yeah, cancer surcks but it won't stop me.
