The Instrument Rehearsal Hall accommodates the largest ensembles, including the CSU Marching Band.
A large instrument storage area provides instant access to chairs, stands, and a vast array of percussion instruments, according to the needs of the class.
The space is outfitted with technical equipment, including a projector and screen, numerous speakers, and recording equipment. A/V equipment allows recorded feedback for conducting students, and the marching band often studies videos of their performances on the large screen.
Acoustic panels throughout the room and ceiling create an optimal setting for rehearsing and performing. The beautiful maple floor provides a concert hall level of acoustic response, and strategically-placed, heavy curtains allow for additional acoustic adjustment as needed.
The space features a 40-foot ceiling to accommodate large ensembles, including the marching band or a full orchestra with chorus, while preserving hearing.
The University Center for the Arts has more than 75 high-quality pianos distributed throughout the performance venues, rehearsal spaces, and practice rooms, including many new Steinways.
