PIANO RECITAL
AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE

  1. Make sure to find out when the recital starts and plan to arrive 15 minutes early.  You can find contact information and directions to the PAC on our website at www.SummersCornerPAC.com.
     

  2. If you do arrive late, wait in the hallway until you hear applause before entering the auditorium to find a seat.  People moving around in the audience during a selection can be very distracting.
     

  3. Clap when the pianist comes onto the stage.  This is a sign of welcome.
     

  4. Be quiet and attentive during the performance.
     

  5. Take as many pictures as you would like but be sure to turn off the flash because it too can be a distraction.
     

  6. Do not bring food, drinks, or gum into the auditorium.
     

  7. Clap only at the end of an entire selection.  Some students may play multiple songs.
     

  8. Please, never leave a recital until the entire program is complete.  This is disrespectful to the other performers.  Plan to make the recital an evening to relax and enjoy the performance.
