Things you forget at comps

Over the last couple of days, I've discovered things that I always forget to take to comps, or in preparation for comps, etc.

I always forget to brush my teeth before doing my makeup...sometimes I get it all the way done before I remember.

I also always forget to bring mascara, and to make sure there's enough hairspray in the bottle to last all day.

What are some of yours?
 
There's nothing I ALWAYS forget. The next time, I'll remember that...and forget something completely different.
 
I would usually be fixing my tie to look right when I remembered that I hadn't put on deodorant.

Only once did I forget to bring my number: the first time I went to DCDI... I ended up writing it on the back of a number of someone who couldn't make it. That being said, I always forgot my number and generally relied on my follows to get me when I needed to be on-deck.
 
I often forget to water and snacks! I can't eat much when I compete but its a good idea to have something with you in case you have long periods of waiting...
 
i believe i forgot safety pins at first...but incorporated them into my "system", which pretty much kept me stocked with that i needed on a regular basis. if you do them a lot, the way you organize yourself makes all the diff.

and snacks & beverages definitely became part of that system. :)
 
@ Debmc, Couldn't agree with you more!! Always happens...when I am waiting to get results with my students I just say to them "listen closely to your name, and NO TALKING"....
 
I have forgotten many things all the time. I once got to the venue at BU (I live on campus, but like a 10 min walk from the venue) and I realized I hadn't brushed my teeth, and since it was sunday the convenience store and cvs didn't open until later and I needed to do makeup because I was dancing in the morning. I ran out and ran back to my apt. to do so. But on numerous occasions when going to a competition that lasts more than one day I often forget my pajamas. Otherwise I try to prep the night before and have everything ready by morning, but you can never avoid forgetting that one (or several) thing(s).
 
usually forget to check hairspray and bobby pin inventory....also almost always forget to bring a towel into the ballroom....also lose my patience after a day or two...and ultimately, lose my phone charger and some clothing before returning home as well
