Tips & Advice

  • Park in Lot K, the closest lot to the Ball Performing Arts Center, then follow the main sidewalk about 20 yards to the glass lobby doors.
  • If you park elsewhere on campus, look for the large glass-fronted building with a fountain in front, which trees can partly hide from view.
  • No tickets are needed for this free concert, so you can simply walk in through the glass doors of the BPAC lobby.
  • If you can't get to campus that night, watch the Waco Community Band concert on McLennan Community College's live music stream instead.
  • Coming from Dallas on I-35, take the Lakeshore Drive exit and head west about six miles until you see the campus on your left.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I park for the concert?

Lot K is the closest lot to the Ball Performing Arts Center. It is gated during weekday daytime hours, but outside those hours it is your best parking.

How do I find the Performing Arts Center once I'm on campus?

From Lot K, the BPAC is the large building on your left. Follow the main sidewalk about 20 yards and go straight in through the glass doors to the lobby. If you park elsewhere, look for a large glass-fronted building with a fountain in front. You can see it from the central courtyard, though trees can partly hide it.

How do I get to McLennan Community College from I-35?

From the north, take the TX-340 Loop/Lakeshore Drive exit (Exit 339) and head west about 6 miles. The campus is on the left. From the south, take the Martin Luther King Boulevard exit (Exit 335-C) and head west about 4 miles to Lakeshore Drive. Turn left, and the campus is on the left after about a mile.

Can I watch if I can't make it in person?

Yes. McLennan Community College streams the band's concerts live on its music department's live page.

Are there restrooms near the lobby?

Yes. As you enter the BPAC lobby, turn left and you'll pass the restrooms and a water fountain.
