Bus Driver Instructions

34th Annual PSU Jazz Festival

Friday, March 7, 2008


Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium - 5th and Pine Streets

1. Please drive to the drop off point (5th street by the stage and downstairs door) and unload about one hour before the band is to perform. Your director has his/her performance time.

2. Then leave and park on the street in front of the auditorium or on 6th street adjoining the auditorium. Do not park buses in the church lot next door!

3. My recommendation is to come back and pick up the group about 45 minutes after they start performing unless your director has different plans. He/she may want to store equipment on the bus or leave following the performance.

4. We can not have busses waiting for long periods (i.e. Over 30 minutes) in the street at the loading/unloading area. This will create headaches for the next group trying to unload or load-up to leave and may cause a traffic problem. In the past there has been a problem with groups being forced to double park in order to unload. Not only does this cause a congestion problem but also a safety problem for emergency vehicles. The Pittsburg police will become very annoyed at all of us. So... Please park on the street in front of the auditorium or on 6th street adjoining the auditorium. But not on 5th street or the church lot.


McCray Hall - PSU Campus

1. Please drive to the drop off point (on Lindberg by McCray Hall) and unload about one hour before the band is to perform. Your director has his/her performance time.

2. Then leave and park in the Brown lot by the library and behind the football stadium.

3. My recommendation is to come back and pick up the group about 45 minutes after they start performing unless your director has different plans. He/she may want to store equipment on the bus or leave following the performance.

Overman Student Center - PSU Campus

1. You will need to drive west on Cleveland Street from Joplin street. The east entrance is blocked. Please drive to the drop off point (on Cleveland by the Overman Student Center) and unload about one hour before the band is to perform. Your director has his/her performance time. I would suggest the middle door, however the elevator is located on the west end of the building by the glass entrance area.

2. Then leave and park in the Brown lot by the library and behind the football stadium.
