 Chorus and Band; Our most isolated, yet one of the largest areas in the school serves as the focal point of our music program, and our facilities include achoral room for 80 voices, an instrumental music room for 120 pieces, four practice rooms and a modern office, and individual lesson rooms. =— The equipment within the rooms has been custom built and represents a very functional, yet economical answer to all of the complex storage problems associated with equipment. Both the band and the choral rooms have direct access to the stage and will serve as fine dressing rooms for dramatic events which will become more evident in our future programs. Language Laboratory: The language laboratory is really a marvel and we can't explain its usage in our tour, but you can be assured that this equipment is unlimited in its function. As we demonstrate it for you you will easily learn how complicated our modern schools have become. Imagine learning a language by means of a tape recording and individual lecture, and yet the instructor does not have to waste valuable time away from the central console.
