Etiquette

General Information about Concert performances                             

 The choir takes great pride in the professionalism it brings to its performances. To help maintain our high standards we would ask members to take note of the following:

  • Please follow the agreed dress code for the concert. We ask that jewellery is discreet and that strong perfume and aftershave is avoided.
  • Coats, large bags and water should be left in the changing area. Should you require a water bottle, please place this discreetly under your chair and try to drink at appropriate moments during breaks in the performance.
  • Please ensure your phone is turned off well before the performance.
  •  If you are a seated member of the choir, please be in your seat a few minutes before the rest of the choir enters.
  • When the concert manager gives the signal for the choir to enter please do so in an orderly, quiet fashion and once on the stage remain standing until the agreed signal to sit is given. Please do not talk or to wave to friends and family members in the audience.
  •  Please leave your score on your chair during the interval.
  • Returning to your seat after the interval should be done swiftly and in an orderly fashion as soon as the arranged signal has been given.
  • Please remember that whilst standing we do not applaud but do join the applause when seated.

Thank you for your co-operation.
