1. Refrain from talking. This is the most important rule.
2. Turn off your cell phone! Vibrate mode is still not good enough and always refrain from texting during the performance.
3. If it is a school concert and your child is performing, you should NOT stand up and wave at them while they are on stage. Also, it is considered rude to get up and leave as soon as your child's portion of the concert is over.
4. Do NOT walk down the center of the aisle with a video camera.
5. Applaud at appropriate times. Typically, concerts are broken down into sections of similar pieces, or pieces by the same composer. Only applaud at the end of an entire grouping or section.
6. It is best to NOT eat during a concert. However, if you need to unwrap a noisy candy wrapper, it is best to do it before the music starts.
7. Dress appropriately! Dressing up to go to a concert or a play shows respect for the performers. No jeans or t-shirts!
