Thanks..Frank.
Frank,

The parking lot is quite a bit lower elevation than the venue. Be prepared for a rather steep walk up a hill in the predicted 100 degree weather. The parking is free and if you're a little early you can position yourself near an exit to make a timely escape after the show.

I enjoyed Ovations, the restaurant on site, last year and will be eating there again this year before the show. But as you can read some folks have not been so happy with the place. I found that eating right there made the experience longer and a bit more complete but that's only my opinion. There were four of us last year and no major complaints. But leave ample time if you decide to try it.

The casual food stands and t-shirt shops were well placed and my wife got a great Wolf Trap shirt last year. My aunt saw it at the beach last week and asked us to pick one up for her.

Please try and get to your seat on-time or early. Last year there were a bunch of people who acted like they had never been out in public before, LOL and made quite a noisy scene realizing their seats were not exactly where they had anticipated. The ushers can help a lot better before the music starts.

My wife and I and ELizabeth from here will be in the third row in the pit. Hope to see you for our group picture ??? How about we take a nice shot in front of the stage where it should be cooler ?

If I missed anything let me know.

Bill

Oh ! The bathrooms were clean and large.
