And speaking of which, when people voice their opinions in a private setting.

When singers are quiet backstage.

When people stand in their designated riser positions without complaints.

When people set up their own chairs for rehearsal.

And when they clean up afterwards.

 When people mark their scores only in pencil.

When people recognize and appreciate the herculean efforts of their chorus managers (most of which are overworked and underpaid).
