Answers:
she can wet herself with water before going to keep a little cool, and drink lots of water before going. and dress light clothes

Other Answers:
If your daughter has a documented special need then the school must by law accommodate her need for water. Be direct with both the band leader and the schools administration. If they try to deny her the right to drink water or exclude her due to her disability then get a lawyer. Not only does your daughter need to be allowed to drink water but any other reasonable accommodations must also be made. Such as a change in uniform or the provision of a shaded area for her to cool off when she needs to. You might also consider having an air conditioned car parked nearby for her to get into if she needs to cool down quickly.
Good Luck and don't let them bully you or your daughter you have rights here that are protected under the "Americans with disabilities act" it is a serious problem.but there has to be a solution.try a doctor or two or three.
