Dress Rehearsal & Concert Location – On the Stage at:
Lake Oswego High School, 2501 Country Club Road, Lake Oswego
Drive into the main driveway and turn right. Turn left at the road behind the main building and continue to the parking lot at the end of the building. Our TCO sign will be next to the exterior glass door just around the corner from this parking lot.
