bass/cello room is now on the third floor of Lincoln Hall

Hi everyone,

Thank you to Laura, Shanon, Nick, Damien and Jane for helping us move the bass/cello storage room to the third floor. This will solve two major problems we have had in the past years. First it will solve the humidity/temperature problem we have had in the bass storage room. I have had to repair the seams of three basses due to the climate in the old bass storage room. The new bass/cello storage room is in the climate controlled part of Lincoln Hall. The new room is also much bigger. It currently is able to hold two bass racks and a cello rack. This will go a long way in helping solve the cello storage shortage problem in Lincoln Hall.
