Backstage Pass 1: Tucson Music Hall »
The TSO performs at many locations around Tucson and also Southern Arizona, but usually the concerts with the biggest orchestra are held at the Music Music Hall. |
 The TCC was built in 1969. Besides the Music Hall, there is a theatre, arena, exhibition hall, meeting rooms, and tucked right next to the Music Hall, the Sosa-Carillo Fremont House. It's the one old building that didn't get bulldozed to make way for the TCC. The TCC Music Hall is downtown, 260 South Church, South of the Radisson at the corner of Congress and Granada |

But we're going to take the back way in, where the musicians enter. Here they are, coming to a rehearsal. There's Jim Karrer, our principal Bass player. Hey Jim! Turn around so we can see your face!
 You're going to need your backstage pass to get in. Let's go in and take a look around. Let's go in! |
Everything else that you see on stage comes through the back door. Trucks come right up to the edge of the loading dock to unpack their stuff. The four black Ts are rubber bumpers to keep trucks from smashing the concrete! |
