Here are our  some of our talking points.

Standards for evaluation of a student as audience include:

-remaining seated throughout the concert
-remaining silent through all performances
-avoiding all electronic devices and distractions
-supporting all performances with appropriate focus and applause.
-remaining for the the entire concert.
