Rehearsals

Community Band of the Palouse (CBoP) rehearses weekly throughout the year in room B20, the Little Theater of the Gladish Community Center in Pullman WA. Gladish is located on Main Street bordered by State St and Olsen. The door through which band members should enter is located on the north side of the building off Olsen.

Parking: You can find limited street parking on Olsen and on State. The large parking lot is accessible off Main Street but requires that you descend the outside staircase at the north end of the parking lot in order to enter through the doorway on Olsen. Please be very careful on the stairway!
