Concert Etiquette (state standard: demonstrate appropriate etiquette as an observer)

  1. Sit on your pockets.
  2. Listen quietly.
  3. Be respectful of others.
  4. Pay attention to the performance.
  5. Clap at the right time.

The Fort Smith music teachers collaborated to come up with simple, proper concert etiquette for our Kindergarten-sixth grade students and have posted these five behaviors in every school in the district.
