Step 6: Start the Show!

Your invitation's start time is a suggestion. If you start a few minutes late to let the seats fill up, that's OK.

But at some point, the presenter needs to start the show.

He/she should keep their comments brief, but you should make sure that their remarks include:

house concert house concert

A warm welcome

Location of the fire exits and bathroom.

Request that cell phones be turned off (not just vibrate. Any electronic emission can bleed through the speakers)

Short introduction of the artist

Enjoy your House Concert!
