Band Room

General
G.1.1 The band room provides a practice area for a standard 44-member
band and storage space for their instruments. It should be located adjacent
to the assembly hall and isolated from classroom and administrative areas
for acoustical reasons. See DG 1110-3-119. "Design Guide for Band
Facilities" for particulars of band area design.
G.1.2 Acoustical treatment to the walls and ceiling of rehearsal and practice
rooms should be provided to attain an STC of 55. The walls should extend
to the roof deck or floor above and be sealed. Consider CMU walls with
sand fill or grouted cores. Along one long wall of the rehearsal rooms,
provide a double, movable acoustical curtain for sound absorption.
