This piano is in the auditorium, right next to the stage. Which is a pretty logical place for it to be, when you think about it. Music, stage, theater, etc.
Behind it is a wheelchair lift, the kind designed to get wheelchair-bound students from the seating area up onto the stage. Which is also a pretty Americans-with-Disabilities-Act kind of thing, too.
Yet here is the rub: the auditorium is on the third floor of the school and there are NO ELEVATORS in the school.
So how is a wheelchair user even going to make it to the third-floor auditorium?!?
That is why the piano is blocking the lift, which is never used and was probably part of the stipulations for getting an auditorum built in the first place.
