The same with public speaking--it is extremely distracting for the performers as well, at least in my experience. I was always seated on the outer-audience side of the 1st violins, so it was inevitable to have an ear to the rest of the goings-on. <BR/><BR/>Glad you remembered to post. I'm going to try to get out and vote early--sounds like the weather is changing, wind is kicking up and I can hear some raindrops pelting the windows.Mama Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392701844744910258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-27941006916256942132007-11-05T21:36:00.000-06:002007-11-05T21:36:00.000-06:00Missing you tonight.

The behavior got worse over the years. The last one or two years it's getting better, also in concerts on the country-site: Some years ago it was like, well, some midday on the LPG ... <BR/>I wish all the people that behave so rude would face sitting or standing on stage just for 5 minutes: everybody who gets out there deserves respect, that shows itself in the quietness and respectful silence the artist needs. Clarinet-players too ... :)<BR/><BR/>Hope you sell tons of rosaries!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-41741249361369215572007-11-05T16:46:00.000-06:002007-11-05T16:46:00.000-06:00I couldn't agree with you more about concerts and ...I couldn't agree with you more about concerts and plays. There are far too many people who behave like they are at home watching a ball game. Both my daughters played stringed instruments in orchestra, but we were blessed with a school were the parents knew how to behave so our concerts were wonderful experiences.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647372428624905546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-59901337438716905242007-11-04T21:29:00.000-06:002007-11-04T21:29:00.000-06:00I agree with you on the bad behavior in the audien...I agree with you on the bad behavior in the audiences. People can be so rude sometimes. I remember when I was in orchestra in school. I was scared to death to be on stage as it was. Let alone hear someone let out a coughing fit that blasted through the entire theater! Or, have some kid screaming and crying through the entire song. As I got up into high school, they always wanted to plant me nearer to the edge of the stage for some reason. Talk about stage fright!! HA! I am glad to hear that your son is doing so well with his music. That is awesome! I think when young people learn a different type of music than what they are used to listening to (rock, rap, ect.) it gives them a better appreciation for music in general.Cinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017608701070419281noreply@blogger.com
