This is a beautiful auditorium on a beautiful college campus. The location is open air, with no walls enclosing the music hall.
It's unfortunate. There is a large parking lot within < 200 feet from the auditorium. In the midde of the concert, some large truck decided it was time to leave, and had to backup from it's parking location. For the next 3+ minutes, in the middle of the music we all heard a low "Beep ..... Beep .... Beep." It was somewhere between 50 and 75 Beeps as the truck backing up emitted a warning sound.
It was really quite a distraction and the personnel at the facility should have been aware of this and made the drive wait.
It was unfortunate.
Also, when I parked, it was in the overflow parking of the overflow lot. It's a bit of a walk and there must have been a thousand cars in the lot. I'd be at the end of the exit line!
I can only imaging the traffic jam of the people leaving after the concert. I left during the second to last movement to get out of there ASAP and not stuck in what must have been at least a one hour traffic jam of people leaving. The entrance is in a nice neighborhood of home. I pitty those homeowner when ever there is an event.
