Jim,

They allow photographing of concerts up there? Our orchestra doesn't allow 
cameras or tape recorders. I tried to get permission to shoot a dress 
rehearsal (no flash, quiet camera, I promise). They wouldn't even 
acknowledge the request. When I asked the choir director (who teaches at 
the same college where I work), he said that the request would have to go 
before a vote of the orchestra. No thanks. I didn't want the shot that badly.
