If anyone wants black fabric here's a link to 5 foot by 330 feet for $214. I got a sample and it's pretty thin which is why I went with the black landscaping fabric:
Broadcloth, Cotton Broadcloth Fabrics, Solid Cotton

Where did you find the 6' x 300' roll? The widest one I could find at Home Depot was 4'.

I did end up buying a box of plastic....100' x 10' for around $60. I will probably need at least 2 of these, and I do need to go get the dimensions for the hall. I am thinking I can tuck it into the frames for the ceiling tiles, and even use black binder clips if needed, to hold it up there. Set up and take down on the walls should be much simpler than the 3 layers of 36" paper we used last year!

At my neighborhood nursery they have a commercial section where they carry the really big 6 foot rolls. They even had two types to choose from, this woven type that had a fuzzy side and then the stuff I got. Perhaps check with a commercial landscape supplier in your area.

Not sure if it is in the budget plan...What about either "Dorp" or "Beef Netting" to cover your walls???

Oh wow! I never even thought of using dorp (erosion netting) and layering it with shredded cheesecloth. Whooie, the light bulb went seriously on over my head!
