Happy days for me! In 3 days my school's band, including me :D, will be going to the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. There is one hitch. My shoulders and neck have been hurting since the week of the 20th, the week when the band directors had the brilliant idea to have practice right after exams. I worry that this will continue till the trip or even to the day of the parade, the 1st of January, and as it is a 2 hour/5 1/2 mile parade, This can't be allowed to continue. Any tips to alleviate the pain?
Thanks!

Try doing shoulder and neck stretches and icing the painful area.
