Etiquette

One of the lessons taught at BHS involves the appropriate behavior at concerts or other occasions where restrain must be shown. The following will help parents model proper concert etiquette.

• Be seated prior to the start of the program. If entering or leaving the concert hall after the program has begun, do so only during applause or when the performers are changing position.
• Be respectful and quiet while others are performing. Talking, whispering, and other noises made with your program, handbags, candy wrappers, etc. can distract others. When bringing young children to the concert, they should be under the constant supervision of those responsible for their presence. Turn off all cell phones/beepers for the duration of the concert or field show.

• Remain seated until the intermission or the end of the program; enter or leave the auditorium between selections only. Drinks of water and restroom breaks, during the performance, should be done only if absolutely necessary or in an emergency. (During marching band season, enter or leave the stadium at the completion of a band's program and before the next band's program begins.)
• Show appreciation for the efforts of all groups. Applaud only at the end of each program selection. There should be no applause between sections of a piece of music. You will know when to applaud by watching the director. Jazz Band: It is appropriate to applaud during a selection after solos.
• Clean up the area you have occupied.
• Hold your applause until the Band is introduced for performance. Please refrain from yelling. (Whistling and yelling are for outdoor activities.)
• Stay and enjoy the entire program. All the performers have devoted a lot of time and effort in preparation for their concert, don't leave just because your child has finished.
• NO food or drink inside the auditorium.
