RebelCard). Only graduate students are provided hard keys to practice rooms. General security polices are as follow: - Keep all percussion rooms locked at all times – check to make sure that the door is closed and locked when you leave and/or when you walk by. - If you see a stranger in any of the percussion rooms, ask them if they belong. - Do not assume that any stranger has permission to use the room. - Be courteous while checking and report any suspicious activity to Dr. Bissantz or graduate student immediately. - If you don’t know how to approach the stranger try this, “Hello. How are you? My name is . How can I help you?” - Stop and politely question any stranger you see moving percussion equipment. - Do not assume that they have permission to use it. - Make sure that percussion instruments are not used as tables or other furniture. It is every percussionist’s responsibility to help maintain the integrity of the instruments and equipment. - Keep all instruments covered when they are not being used (if they have covers). - Keep percussion rooms clean and free from trash and food and do your best to keep personal stick bags and book bags off the floor. The Percussion Complex is locked 24/7 — should you ever find the door *unlocked*, please notify Faculty and/or Graduate Assistants immediately. ## Schedules For security purposes, precise operational and class schedules are not made available on this public site.
