If there is a request for a commercial booking, the hall will be booked. If there is a request for a community use, the Symphony would pay the full hall rate instead of rehearsal rate. The Symphony also has the option of cancelling the usage of the Friday evening three weeks ahead of schedule. -Rate Study - The committee has asked for more input from the user groups. Some of the ideas have been to have weekend rates and summer rates. This would encourage use of the Center at off times.
