Concert Etiquette

The goal of the CRHS Music Department is to create an atmosphere and environment that mirrors a professional performance. It is important that performers and audience members alike understand and demonstrate appropriate concert decorum. The following guidelines should be adhered to at all RSD13 music performances.

·       All cellphones and other electronic devices should be turned off or set to silent/airplane mode.

·       Tablets, laptops, and other devices with glowing screens can be distracting to performers and audience members and are prohibited.

·       All children must remain in their seats during the performance. If any younger ones need a break, please take them out to the lobby to allow others to enjoy the performance in silence.

·       The auditorium doors will remain closed during performances. You may only enter or exit in between selections or during applause, unless of course in the event of an emergency.
