Go past the first exit on your right (access to the huge parking lot). Turn right at the second exit. This is a long road that winds its way down the hill to the rear of the Farragut Middle School. Turn around on the loop at the end of the road and retrace your path to park next to the fenced-in tennis/basketball courts on your right.
Exiting your car, you will be facing a dirt/grass quadrangle, with the gym on the left side, orange/white picnic tables along the back wall, and a fenced in air-conditioning facility at the right end of the building along the back wall of the quadrangle. Walk towards the picnic tables, and enter the last dark brown door, just to the left of the fenced-in a/c units. This takes you into the Farragut Middle School Band Room. If you arrive between 6:45 and 7:00 pm, there will be other band members entering through that door. Just follow the parade.
Once inside, you descend stairs to the band-room floor.
