Singers and musicians who belong to show groups spend many weeks and months bringing together their concert pieces. They take every care to give their best efforts both to highlight their talents and to make the concert as interesting and enjoyable for the public. It only takes one person in the audience to ruin the entire event for everyone. You can avoid being that person by knowing what it takes to be a mindful and respectful audience member at a California choral musical performance.
Before you walk in and take your seat, you may remember to turn off your cell phone or silence the ringer and keep it on vibrate. Few things annoy both musicians and conductors alike than a cell phone that goes off during the middle of the song. People automatically stop looking at the stage and search out the person who forgot to silence the phone.
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.
Another courtesy you want to extend involves remaining in your seat while the show is ongoing. It is understandable that people may have to get up to leave or use the restroom at some point. However, the audience generally is expected to stay seated while the singers are on stage and performing. You may wait until they are finished and the sets are being transitioned before getting up to leave the concert hall.
Children are likewise sometimes not welcome at the more upscale concerts held at some locations. These adult only concerts are a time for parents and other adults to enjoy the show. Children tend to distract with their screaming, tantrum throwing, crying, and other antics. You might choose to hire a babysitter rather than bring your baby or children with you that evening. Your fellow audience members could thank you.
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.
When the conductor has his or her arms poised above his or head or extended in front of the chest, he or she is giving a sign the song is continuing and not ended yet. It is only when the conductor drops the arms to both sides that he or she demonstrates the finality of the piece. At this point, you may clap if you enjoyed what you heard.
The choral musical groups throughout the state of California routinely give concerts for the public. If you plan to attend, you may want to observe some common manners. These tips help you be a mindful observer of this show. They also spare you the embarrassment and the anger of those people around you. You will get the most out of the performance with these strategies in mind.
