Descriptive Writing exercise

I chose the Eppley Auditorium lobby because I have only ever passed through it, and I was wondering what it would be like to sit here and see what the room is actually like.


The Eppley Auditorium lobby is a long hall that is mostly white and has many chairs for people to sit in. It is used as the main entrance to Eppley Auditorium and is also where the box office is located for the performances that are given here.


While I am sitting here there isn’t much activity going on. There is only one other person down the whole length of the hall and they are lounging on a couch doing their homework with their earbuds in. Various other people have walked through but only for a brief moment before either going upstairs or walking in the direction of the music wing.


From where I am sitting, I can hear the band and choir practicing. It is soothing but when you hear both at the same time, it becomes a little discordant. I know that I recognize the piece of music that the band is playing, but I can’t remember the name of it.


At the moment, this room feels large for how little is going on in it. I’m sure that when there is an actual performance the room probably gets much fuller.

    The lobby may be my favorite place on campus. Great lighting! It’s mostly used as a reception area for events that happen in Eppley or in the gallery.
