10 Rules of Concert Etiquette
1.  Refrain from talking
      - This is the first and greatest rule
      - This rule includes whispering or disciplining your other children
2.  Refrain from unwrapping noisy candy wrappers
       - If the composer wanted to include paper crinkle noises to the music,
         he/she would have written it into the parts
3.  Turn off Cell Phones, Pagers, and Watch Alarms
       - While many of these devices now have very symphonic-like rings,
          they don’t always fit into the musical score,
          nor do they provide pleasant sounds for your neighbors
4.  Do not wave to your child during the concert
       - After all, they do know who you are already and know you are there;
          you most likely brought them to the concert
5.  Do not take flash photography
      - You don’t want your child to walk off the edge of the stage from flash
         blindness, do you?
6.  Please do not walk down the center aisle with a video camera
      - Also, do not setup your tri-pod in the wheel chair area at the rear of
         auditorium.  
7.  Do not leave as soon as your child’s portion is over
      - All of the students deserve a full audience for their performance
      - Remember, the next time your child’s portion might be at the end
8.  Applaud at appropriate times
      - Some music has several sections;
      - Remember, it’s not over until all of the sections have been performed
9.  Do not enter or leave the auditorium during the music
     -  Wait for a break in the concert, unless you are carrying a screaming child,
         in which case you should leave quietly and quickly—PLEASE!

10.  Go to the concert expecting the best
        - You just might be surprised how good your student sounds when the
           other students join in!
