To enhance your experience and support our students' performances, we kindly offer these concert etiquette tips:

Plan Accordingly: If attending with young children, consider sitting near an exit for easy access.
Silence Your Devices: Ensure all electronic devices are turned off to maintain the musical ambiance.
Photography Guidelines: While capturing memories is encouraged, please refrain from using flash photography during performances.
