Cell Phone Guide
Do you want to ensure that your cell phone does not disrupt the music, but are not familiar with how to turn your phone on and off? Use the guide below, or ask an usher for help.
Thank you for doing your part to allow as immersive and uninterrupted an experience of the music as possible for your fellow concert goers. Hearing a phone ring or vibrate and seeing a screen light up — even momentarily — can be highly distracting for both audience members and the performing artists. Take this opportunity to disconnect from electronics and thereby connect more deeply to the music we love.
