Braun Rehearsal Hall is also on the ground floor, to the right of Campbell Recital Hall and the atrium. To reach Braun 103-106, walk down the hallway away from Campbell Recital Hall, through the glass doors, across the archway (watch for bicycles!), straight across into the "other side" of Braun and down the hallway. Braun 105 and 106 are on your left before the hallway turns left; to get to 103 take two left turns, past the Music Library and around to room 103. The door to 103 is opposite the windows that look out toward the Post Office.

Bear right (upwards). The road will fork again immediately; bear right (again, upwards) and at the next fork, bear left (still upwards), driving behind the Knoll (a pink stucco mansion on top of the hill). You are now on a one-way road. The Annex is down the slope to your right as you drive in, consisting of the two temporary buildings behind the large former mansion to your left. Find parking - be sure not to block the road, as this is a fire lane. A1 is the large central room in the temporary building furthest to the left (not the one with the bathroom sign).

The Costume Shop is in the Clubhouse wing of the Old Union (the part nearest Tresidder and Dink), on the second floor. The front doors of the Clubhouse wing open onto the Old Union courtyard, on the opposite side of the building to the one you are now facing. Go around the building, either to the left (under the arched colonnade), or to the right. Enter the front doors, which are up a few brick steps, go up the steps to the first landing and enter the large ballroom to your left (which has a small stage at the rear). In the rear left corner of the room (to the left of the small stage) is the door to our costume shop. (If an event is taking place in the ballroom, politely creep around the edge of the room to get to the shop).
