GUIDELINES FOR GRADUATING SENIORS
CIVIC CENTER
Graduating seniors must follow
these guidelines for Rehearsal and Graduation 2017. These guidelines which were developed by the
Charleston Civic Center management will provide for your effective participation
and movement in the facilities.
- Persons attending rehearsal for graduation activities at the Charleston Civic Center Coliseum will enter only through a doorway in the main lobby beside the Ticket Office marked “Parlors ABCD.” No other entry will be available to anyone participating in rehearsal activity.
- Participants in rehearsal activities will not be allowed to bring packages or book bags of any kind into the facilities. Other prohibited items include, but not limited to: firearms, knives, and lighters. LEAVE THESE ITEMS IN YOUR CAR. Only restrooms in Parlor hallway will be available for graduates during rehearsal activities. Seating areas will be blocked off and graduates will not be permitted to go into the upper seating areas or restroom areas on the concourse of the Coliseum.
- The Civic Center will open for rehearsal one (1) hour prior to the scheduled rehearsal time. All participants are expected to leave the facilities immediately upon the conclusion of the supervised rehearsal.
- Any delivery made to the Civic Center Coliseum will require that the vehicle be removed from the back area after unloading. No vehicles will be permitted inside the building. No entrance will be permitted through the rear loading dock doors for anyone except for unloading purposes. All deliveries should be made at one time and will be supervised by a police or Civic Center attendant. Band students will not enter through the loading dock doors.
- Graduates will enter the same Parlor doorway when reporting back to the Civic Center Coliseum for graduation ceremony. The doorways will be open 1-1/2 hours prior to the scheduled graduation ceremony. ONLY GRADUATES WITH A CAP AND GOWN IN THEIR POSSESSION WILL BE PERMITTED TO ENTER THESE DOORS. FAMILIES ARE NOT PERMITTED THROUGH THESE ENTRY WAYS.

- Doors will open to the public at the Civic Center Coliseum one (1) hour prior to the scheduled graduation time. Cameras will be permitted and camera bags will be subject to inspection. ABSOLUTELY NO PACKAGES, BAGS OR WRAPPED PRESENTS WILL BE PERMITTED IN EITHER FACILITY. PLEASE INFORM FAMILY MEMBERS TO LEAVE THESE ITEMS IN VEHICLES OR AT ANOTHER LOCATION.
