Spectators are asked to be respectful of all competitors while in the stands and to not talk while any band is performing. Spectators are expected to wait until the performing band has completed its show before leaving their seat or entering the stands to find a seat. This shows respect to the performers and minimizes distractions to both the performers and those watching in the stands. Applause is welcomed at any significant moment in the show and of course at the end of the routine. This applies to all bands that perform. The band members like to hear the applause and welcome it as a motivator.
Wear your DV Band shirt and join other DV supporters in the stands. A block of friendly DV blue lets the band know we are there supporting them. There is no need to brag, but instead be humble and be polite when talking around or with parents from other programs. Finally, remember that like the students, when we are in any DV attire, we are representatives of the band program, the school and the district.
