UPDATED: Parking for DGN Rehearsals Next Week / Start Time


UPDATED!

There is a lot of construction at DGN, and there will be even more next week!  The Main Street lot is under construction, and students will not be able to use it next week.

The easiest way to get to and from band rehearsals at DGN next week will be to be dropped off and picked up.  The Forest Street entrance on the south side of the building will be open (there is a circle turn-around here that will make it easy for parents to drop off their children).  Alternatively, students may be dropped off on Grant Street, in front of Gloria Dei church, and then cross Main St. at the light.  (It is illegal to stop and drop directly on Main St.)

Students who are driving will have to park in the lot on the WEST side of the building (near the North football stadium).  After parking, students will walk across Prince Street and enter the campus at the NORTH-WEST corner of the football stadium.  Students should then walk around the stadium track (inside the stadium), and then enter the building via the doors by the Fine Arts Loading Dock.  This entrance is labeled “22” above the door.  Once you enter the building, the band room is #142, and is just steps away from this entrance.

We need to make great use of every rehearsal minute allocated to our band next week.  Give yourself plenty of time to be in the band room early on Monday morning.  We ask that you aim to arrive no later than 8:45 am so you have time to find your seat and warm up properly before a 9 AM downbeat.  If you are driving and parking, arrive at DGN by 8:30 am so you have time to walk to the band room through the construction.

As a reminder, the June 4th rehears schedule has the full band working from 9 AM - 12 noon, and the jazz band working from 1:30 - 3:30 PM.

Your music faculty is really looking forward to making music with you on Monday!
