Concert Guidelines and Etiquette
- Most of our concerts are held at other locations, so please check carefully. The students will need to arrive early to all concerts and those times will be announced the week before the concert.
- Audience seating will begin 10 minutes before any of our performances.
- Please do not enter or leave the performing hall while any group is performing.
- NO electronic devices are to be taken into the performance hall or on stage by any student during any performance or evaluation. The students are not to be taking pictures on their phones during a performance.
- We request that the audience not have any electronic devices that would distract other audience members from enjoying the performance. Cameras and videos are allowed within reason.
- Students will need to remain seated with their class before and during the concerts.
- No chewing gum will be allowed on stage during a performance or evaluation.
- Please be respectful and considerate of all of the adults and student teachers who are helping keep things running smoothly.
- Please plan on staying for the entire concert! If a family has to leave early for an emergency, a parent will need to come and get their children from their class seating area.
- Students should plan on keeping their instruments with them until after the concert. Large instruments will stay close to the stage area.
- Instrumentalists should bring their music and stand to every performance.
- All classes have a concert dress code. Please refer to that section in the Handbook.
