We will be directed to the visitor parking lot near the club house. We can park in the “Marketing” parking spots if they are available, as well as the visitor parking. We need to meet at the front desk by 6:30pm. Our performance will be held upstairs in the large Lounge area. Please bring the drum set w/carpet; bass amp; and I’ll bring the PA system. They do have a grand piano for us to use.
