I would suggest eating small light snacks or meals and staying hydrated, water or a sport drink maybe. After all it’s going to be hot you said, just be careful not to over hydrated by drinking tons of water. Most of all just take care of yourself before and during the event. I sort of think you might get a natural energy boost with all the excitement and endorphins going around. For staying cool go to wal-mart and by a water bolted spray fan, maybe take extra battiers. I went to a concert last summer and it was super hot 100s. and the spry fan came in handy. I am not an expert just some suggestions.

have you ever tried yerba mate? it's pretty energizing, and not rough on your body like energy drinks.

I take vitamin B complex everyday! Look it up super energizing, I also love organic ginger :-) sometimes I'll sip on the wild strawberry energy  crystal light mixed in a big bottle of water also!

I take b complex for energy too. Makes your pee like highlighter yellow though haha.

Also peppermint oil can boost enegry levels and alertness. And of course drink lots of water.

i second the b vitamins! i take these everyday and feel great! definitely take these before noon, or you will be up late.
