There are two places to park for rehearsals. There is a small parking lot beside the church at 29 Octavia St, San Francisco. Note this is Octavia STREET not Octavia BOULEVARD. Octavia Street is an access street next to the church. If you arrive early enough you can probably park there.
There is also a larger second 'upper' lot at 137 Haight St, San Francisco. It is posted as a private lot, but the gate should be open and we can park there for rehearsals. If you park there, stairs lead from that parking lot to the lower lot by the church.
