MEMO

TO: Audience FROM: The Directors and Performers RE: Concert Etiquette Dear Parents, Students, Teachers, and Friends of Music: Thank you for joining us this evening. As the audience, you are an important part of tonight’s concert. The audience’s responsibility at formal concerts is to honor the efforts of the performers by providing a listening atmosphere in which all can appreciate their performance. To that end, we ask your cooperation: • Please make sure all cell phones and electronic devices are turned off. Cell phones can interfere with wireless microphones and recording equipment, as well as creating unwanted noise. • While the performance is in progress, please remain seated and quiet. (If it becomes necessary to leave the auditorium, please do so between musical selections.) • If very young children become restless and disrupt others' ability to listen, please take them from the auditorium until they are quiet. • Please do not hum or clap along with the performers, unless specifically invited to do so. • Show your appreciation for the performance by clapping after each selection. Whistling and cheering are not appropriate at a formal concert. We have all worked very hard to prepare an exceptional evening of music for everyone to enjoy. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance in helping this to be a wonderful experience for all of us!
