Swartz Creek Middle SChool Instrumental Music Department’s

Spring ConcertTuesday May 5, 2015

1.Refrain from talking. - The first and greatest rule. It also includes whispering to or disciplining your other children.

2.Refrain from unwrapping noisy candy wrappers during the performance. - If the composer wanted to include crinkle paper noises to the music, he/she would have written it into the parts.

The Ten Rules of Concert Etiquette:

3.Please silence all cell phones and other electronic devices. - While many cell phones and have 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 children during the concert. -After all, they do know who you are already, and they know you are there; you most likely brought them to the concert.

5. Do not take flash photography. - You do not want your child to fall off the stage from blindness, do you?

6. Do not walk down the center aisle with your video camera. - Video cameras work just as well from the back of the auditorium. (Besides; the light is usually not good enough for video taping anyway.)

7. Do not leave as soon as your child’s portion of the concert is over. - All of the students deserve a full audience for their performances. Remember, next time your child’s song(s) could be last.

8. Applaud appropriately. – Please remember this is a concert not a sporting event. Applause is what musicians appreciate for a job well done. Screaming out names highlights the individual, not the group.

9. Do not leave the auditorium during the music. -Wait for a break in the concert to visit the restroom, 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 might just be surprised how good your student sounds when the other students join in!

Fine Arts Department Philosophy

The Arts are basic to a complete education.

The Arts are among the “Six Basic Academic Subjects.”

The Arts are valuable in all areas of study because they engage the imagination and foster flexible ways of thinking, develop disciplined effort, and build confidence.

The Arts develop non-verbal thinking skills-perception, forming images, and imaginations.The Arts help us to learn to think creatively as well as help build self-esteem.The Arts supplement the other basic subjects necessary communication skills for language and logical mathematical thinking are developed through the Arts.

Without the Arts, education is not education but vocational training…practicing one’s profession successfully calls for skills in dealing with people, for being able to comprehend the connections between cause and effect, and for the ability to carry the burdens placed on an individual in a free society.

The Arts help to prepare the human mind for such needs.

From the dawn of civilization, men and women have used music, dance, theater, and the visual arts to transmit the heritage of people and to express human joys and sorrows. The Arts are the means by which civilization can be measured.
