From the north, east, west: Take NYS Thruway to exit 23 (Albany). Bear right onto Rt. 9W south. Travel approximately 12 - 13 miles. The school will be on the right.

There is ample parking on the Ravena campus. Upon entering the campus, the High School is the building to the right.

1) Cars should park in either the large main lot on the left, or in the first lot on the right.

Both of these parking lots are adjacent to Rt. 9W.

2) Busses should park in the huge paved area straight ahead, between the High School (on the right) and the Middle School (to the left).

3) Percussion equipment may be unloaded at the gym entrance, which is closer to the percussion warm up area. Turn at the first right after entering the campus and go straight towards the football field and around to the left behind the building. Look for signs; someone will be there to assist you.

4) ALL PARTICIPANTS SHOULD ENTER AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR REGISTRATION. (Except percussionists unloading equipment at the gym entrance.)
