You might really enjoy going to live concerts and shows in your community. Despite being a big fan of these events, you still could be one of the most obnoxious audience members if you do not mind your manners. If you plan on going to a California choral musical performance anytime soon, you could ingratiate yourself to others around you by knowing how to act appropriately in public. These simple rules allow everyone in attendance to have fun.
It seems like everyone has a cell phone with them today. Most people dare not venture into public without their cell phones in their purses or pockets. While you are welcome to bring yours to the event, you are reminded that it is rude to have it on during the actual concert. As you are taking your seat, you may turn it on vibrate and silence the ringer if you have to have it on at all.
If it goes off during a song, you inevitably will garner attention that will be anything but flattering or appreciated. The people on stage will resent you for taking the attention off of them. The people sitting around you will be annoyed that they heard your ringer rather than the singing on stage. You will avoid all of this scenario by turning down or off the phone before you take your seat.
You also may want to remain in that seat while the show is ongoing. Even if you have to use the bathroom, it might be best to wait until a song is finished before you get up and walk out of the hall. As with phones, people walking out of the concert hall draw attention to them and away from the singers. This behavior annoys people in attendance and is construed as rude and not appropriate for this kind of setting.
Your children may be well-mannered at home. However, they may not do so well in a crowded concert hall. They might not enjoy the music and instead want to get up and run around rather than sit still. Your baby may cry or scream to be fed or changed. Concerts are not generally viewed as child appropriate venues. You could hire a babysitter and instead enjoy an adult's night out while listening to beautiful music.
While you may already know these basic etiquette rules, you could be unclear about applauding. Of course you know to wait until the piece has ended. However, you may not know when the end has arrived. Your foremost clue comes from watching what the conductor is doing with his or her arms.
If you are not sure if or when to applaud, you may get the best direction by keeping an eye on the arms of the conductor. He or she will drop them to the side once the piece is finished. If he or she has the arms still in midair, the song is not yet over, which means you should hold your applause for the moment. Otherwise, you could just clap when the others around you do so as well.
These simple rules for enjoying musical performances in California and elsewhere can come in handy when you want to be a respectful audience member. You prefer not to draw the ire of those around you or the performers on stage. You will show the appropriate amount of attention and respect by keeping these manners and behaviors in mind while you are listening to the music.
