Where the Action Will Be!

Pick up your badge and convention program book in the lobby of the School of Music, Theatre and Dance (Moore).

If you rented a bass, you can pick it up at the registration desk, and return it there at the end of the week. (Don't forget to bring your own bow!)

When you're not using your bass you can check it at the bass storage rooms in the Moore building (closes 7 PM) or the Walgreen Drama Center (closes 6 PM). Once bass storage closes you won't be able to pick up your instrument until the next morning.
