The Show Must Go On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the campus of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, housed within the multi-level 70,000 square-foot Glennis McCrary Music Building is the 1,000-seat Mary Gibbs Jones Concert Hall, the 200-seat Meadows Lecture\/Recital Hall, and an organ teaching and performing hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


The building features 78 practice and rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, technology lab, choral and instrumental rehearsal halls, special areas for chamber music and seminars, instrumental and choral music libraries, and studio and office spaces for the division of instrumental studies and ensemble directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a winter freeze in December, a coil in the HVAC unit on the 2nd floor burst. Approximately 20,000 gallons of water poured into the building onto the stage floor of Jones Concert Hall and into approximately 20 offices, band room and percussion storage areas, locker area and hallways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Of huge concern was The McLane Organ, a 92-rank 4-manual organ specifically designed for the Concert Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
