Parking:

* Once buses are unloaded they can park at the bottom of the parking lot.
* Bus drivers are always welcome to watch the show free of charge if we have seating available.
* If bus drivers leave the facility, they need to return 15 minutes prior to the end of the performance.
Arrival:
* We ask that you arrive 20-25 minutes before your performance is scheduled to start. This allows us plenty of time to seat groups.
* When you arrive at The Arts Center of Cannon County, please ask your bus driver to circle the parking lot and pull up to the sidewalk with the bus door facing the front of the building.

* Please keep all students on the bus until a staff member has asked you to unload.
Late Arrival:
* If you know that you are going to be arriving late, we ask that you please call and let us know.
* We will try our best to wait on you to arrive before beginning the performance. * Keep in mind that other schools are on a time schedule, and delaying the performance could put everyone in a jam.
* With this in mind, please plan to be ahead of schedule.
Seating:
* We seat students on a first come, first served basis but we do make allowances for very young students.
* According to your group size, your group may not be able to all sit in the same section
* All schools will be seated by an Arts Center staff member and will remain as a group while entering, seating, and leaving the auditorium.
* Please wait at the door with your students until a staff member has directed you where to go.
* Please tell your students that they will be seated according to how they are lined up.
* We ask that you allow us to seat your entire group before taking a bathroom break and that you send students to the restroom row by row.
* We ask that if you have parents that need to sit with a specific child that they line up with their child when entering the facility.
* If you ask a chaperone to be in charge of four students, please know that we seat row by row and the numbers may not work out perfectly every time. We have a small facility and chaperones will be able to see the students they are responsible for even if they do not sit in the same row.
Departure:
* We ask that when the performance is over that all students remain in their seats until a staff member has dismissed you.
* If your students need to take a bathroom break before loading the bus, we ask that you let us know and we will load the other groups first.
* Buses will be pulled up to the front door and loaded from there.
* We ask that if you are working with a tight schedule that you let us know and we will try to load your group first.
* Once your buses are loaded, please pull away from the building to count your students. This is a great way to keep things running quickly and smoothly.
