Concert Etiquette

 

Many people do not attend concerts frequently.  The school concerts are also a time where you might run into other parents in town you haven’t talked to in a while.  Because of this, you may have noticed people talking while the students are singing or playing.

 

Good etiquette simply means being silent during the performance.

 

The kids have worked hard to prepare the best performance they can for you.  Plus others have come to listen.  You can talk after the performance or during the breaks.  Your children will appreciate it.
