Director at a rather large high school here….surely we can’t be the only ones whose band hall is a disaster zone most of the fall semester...😣 Our bandhall is very small and does not have a designated “locker room” - just lockers along the walls.

We are already pressed for space for kids backpacks (will not fit in lockers) and the fall semester continues to be an issue with kids bringing additional bags for uniform items/clothes for rehearsal, etc.

We have been attempting to use some rolling storage shelves however they are flimsy and even with 5-6 there’s not enough room for one class at a time much less the ENTIRE band/guard (250+) on game and contest days. They also end up covered with stuff students leave behind like clothes and water jugs we are constantly having to remove/throw out.

As far as utilizing other spaces, we do have a small bandhall but it is completely full due to front ensemble and the rest of our percussion equipment due to lack of storage for that as well….

Does anyone with a similar situation have any advice, suggestions or storage solutions that seem to work for them?
