We teach our students the rules of concert etiquette so that its value may form a life-long appreciation of the art of performance.
Noise, disruptions, and talking are not permitted during the program.
Once you have entered the auditorium, please remain seated until the performance has concluded. In case of an emergency, it is proper to leave only at the conclusion of a song.
Roaming the aisles during a song distracts the group on stage and lessens the performance. Please give all performing groups the courtesy and respect that their hard work and efforts have earned them.
Smoking is not permitted.
Food, gum, and drinks are not permitted in the auditorium.
Please escort crying children to the outside lobby.
Please turn off all cell phones. No text messaging, please.
*These etiquette guidelines are observed by ALL GPISD performing ensembles.
