Dressing Room Assignments

There are two dressing room areas: the green room and the band room practice rooms. The green room/dance studio, located next to the theatre, has two small dressing rooms connected to a large central area with dance mirrors and makeup tables. Students will need to be quiet in this area because sound will travel to the stage. The band practice rooms are adjacent to the green room, so the green room/dance studio mirror area can be used for makeup. There is no running water or toilets in either area but bathrooms can be used in the commons area or the gym area.
