It is also used by several of the vocal groups on campus and the Early Music Ensemble. Additionally, during each semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, the Rehearsal Hall hosts the music forum (an hour-long mini-concert) performed by music majors as part of their graduation requirement and for the benefit of all music students who must attend a specified number of performances per semester. All students, faculty, and community members are welcome to attend. Finally, faculty and students periodically hold concerts in the Rehearsal Hall free of charge to students. The Rehearsal Hall is marked by the Troy Driggers Memorial at the front entrance, in honor of UCF's first drum major.
