TRANSCRIPT

DETERMINING, UNDERSTANDING AND PRACTICING GOOD CONCERT ETIQUETTE
a prescribed or accepted code of behavior in
matters of ceremony, as in a court or in other
formal observances.In our case, a chorus concert.
WHAT DOES THE WORD “ETIQUETTE” EVEN MEAN?!
1.Stage Etiquette2.Transition Etiquette3.Audience Etiquette
THREE CATEGORIES:
Onstage
While on stage, performers should remain professional throughout the performance by remaining silent and not applauding other performers. Performers should also restrain the urge to fidget with attire or hair.
Hands should remain at the performer’s side at all times (unless in the case of choreography).
Silence
Before and after the music, a moment of silence allows the performer to concentrate on the music while members of the audience are allowed to
focus on the performance.
Music
An important piece of concert stage etiquette is the performer's ability to look at the conductor with music only referred to when it is needed
(we memorize our pieces so we should ALWAYS be referring to the conductor for cues, entrances, cut offs and dynamics).
STAGE ETIQUETTE
All movements should be organized, clean, quiet, and PRACTICED.
Moving from one space to another requires discipline and self control. In Ms. Hines’ class, we use the number
system.
Let us practice OUR rehearsed transitions now!
