Heading out to see artists perform live is very exciting. Individuals can see them in their element where they use their natural skills. Everyone gets to see the mistakes that they make making the experience more real and interesting to watch. The paragraphs below explain how one can prepare for a California Chamber Orchestra concert.

Dress comfortably. Individuals are free to wear whatever they want when going to watch people perform. There are those who wear casual outfits which are composed of jeans and casual t-shirts. Other people dress up and are seen in tuxedos and nice gowns. In situations where a dressing code is necessary, the information is communicated to the audience so that everyone is aware of what is expected of them.

Snack before heading out. A person can have a simple meal or eat as much as preferred. The audience is not allowed to eat at mid concert. The performance can take as long as two hours and even then, the orchestra may not have finished its set. Those who walk into the concert hungry will have to stay like that way for a while. This is difficult for anybody and can prevent them from paying attention to what is going on.

Avoid any preconceived ideas about what to expect. Step into the place with a clear head and ready to see what the professionals have prepared. People often enjoy the sweet melodies produced skillfully through various instruments. Although this is a new experience for many people, they often hear rhythms familiar to certain songs they have heard before

Identify the age limits set for the audience. Every session is different. There are those that have restrictions for those who can attend while others are just for everybody. Concerts that will go on for a while are not appropriate for kids. They can easily disrupt the music, and this will affect the instrumentalists and ruin the whole set up.

Avoid being late. Those who make it here once performances have started have to wait in the lobby or watch from uncomfortable positions. This is until there is a break and movement is permitted. Latecomers can cause trouble and are therefore not allowed to walk around when other people are sitting. Those who come in early can settle with ease and get to enjoy the sessions from the moment they begin.

Put away electronic equipment. Those who come in with their mobile phones should ensure that they are on silent or flight mode. This prevents interruptions that are caused by a loud ringing phone. Cameras and any other type of recording materials are not allowed in the venue. Individuals can only take pictures before the event starts or after it ends.

Applaud at the right time. It is always awkward to start clapping when no one else is doing the same. The performers might have taken a slight pause in their piece making someone feel as if they are done. Applauding at a time when they intended to continue is noisy and interrupts the flow of activity. Clap when other people are clapping as well or when the musicians lower their instruments.
