NEW BAND ROOM!

In just a few short weeks, we'll be moving in to our NEW BAND ROOM!
I got to take a tour of the construction site today, and I thought you'd like to see some photos. 

North corner of the building. For those who haven't seen it in person, you should know that this is all BAND ROOM -- you cannot currently see any other part of the school building in this picture.



South corner of the building. Just to the right you see where it attaches to our current auditorium.



Loading dock on the southeast side

So, let's go inside!

Looking from the band room towards the front entrance of the school.  Where you see concrete block on the left will be a wall; this will be the hallway leading to the existing auditorium and the new band room.

Looking into the band room from the hallway.  The room on the right will eventually be piano lab.

The piano lab.  The windows on the left look out into the main rehearsal hall

New band office :)

Here's me putting my hard hat to good use in my new office.

Just to the right of the band office is the instrument repair area, which will have cabinets and a sink.  Students will go through this hall to get to the instrument storage room.

Instrument storage room - which will be outfitted with Wenger lockers

More storage

This will become a door with backstage access to the auditorium.

Bathrooms!  We have our own bathrooms!

(This is the men's room.)

Upstairs (yes, upstairs -- there are two staircases and an elevator) we have a HUGE amount of storage space, which we will share with the rest of the school.  Here's a look at the upstairs area.  The construction site superintendent is giving Dr. Walters (Superintendent of Schools) and the me a tour of the facility. 

I think this "stitched together" photo (it's actually three pictures put together) gives you a pretty good idea of the size of the rehearsal hall.  I was standing with my back against the wall in the front of the band room when I took these pictures.

From left to right, you see the entrance to the hall that leads back to the front of the school, the window and door into the ensemble practice room (can you say jazz band?), the door and window into the music library, the door and window into the office, and in the center is the doorway into the instrument repair area that leads back to instrument storage.  On the far right is the doorway to uniform storage and the loading dock (which you can also access through instrument storage), and the door to the men's room.  (The ladies room door is just around the corner, so you can't see it in this picture.)

Pretty cool, huh?  :)
