------------------------------------------------

McDaniel rehearsal Saturday 5/17 at 1:30, concert Sunday 5/18 general call at 6:30.

Detailed campus map is available at 
http://www.mcdaniel.edu/graduate/maps/campus_map.shtml.
 Directions as stated on website are as follows:


From Baltimore, MD: 
-Take I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) to Exit 19 onto I-795 North (Northwest Expressway), 
 continue to its completion. 
-Follow signs to Westminster via Route 140 West around Westminster 
-Turn left at stoplight onto Route 31. 
-Drive 1/4 mile (McDaniel College golf course is on your left) and turn left at the 
 first light—onto Main St. 
-Drive 4/10 of a mile and turn left into the first entrance to the college. 
 Baker Memorial Chapel (#43 on map link above) will be on your right hand side.

I highly discourage taking Route 32 all the way from Howard County to Westminster. 
695 to 795 as above is by far the fastest. A reasonable alternate depending on starting 
location is below. I take this route frequently from the orchestra office and it takes about
35 minutes to campus. 

-Take 29 N to I-70 W. 
-Take Route 97 North to a left on Route 140 in Westminster 
-Turn left at stoplight onto Route 31. 
-Drive 1/4 mile (McDaniel College golf course is on your left) and turn left at
 the first light—onto Main St. 
-Drive 4/10 of a mile and turn left into the first entrance to the college. 
 Baker Memorial Chapel (#43 on map link above) will be on your right hand side.

There are several parking lots off of stadium drive, directly behind Big Baker Memorial
Chapel (#43 on map)--wherever the road widens. If those are full, there are additional
visitor lots across Main Street (near #3, between Main and Union). Faculty lots are 
available to students and visitors on weekends.
