How to Prepare

Welcome to the Cedar Rapids Symphony! If you are a first-time visitor, you may want to review the following information.

What should I wear?
Most people consider a concert by the Cedar Rapids Symphony to be a special event and tend to dress for the occasion - in suits and ties, or "nice" dresses or pantsuits. Many people come to the concerts wearing business casual attire. However, we welcome patrons no matter what their attire including jeans, shorts, etc.

Can I bring my cellular phone or camera?
The Cedar Rapids Symphony requests that you turn off all cell phones, pagers, beeping watches and other electronic devices before the performance begins, and that you check to see that they are again turned off after the intermission, before the second half of the performance begins. No photography or use of recording devices is allowed in the Paramount Theatre at any time.

When should I arrive?
We suggest that you arrive 20 to 30 minutes before the concert is scheduled to begin. That will give you ample time to find your seat, relax, read the program notes and watch the musicians as they take the stage. Cedar Rapids Symphony concerts begin promptly at the announced starting time.

What is appropriate applause etiquette?
Please hold applause during a multi-movement piece until the conclusion of the last movement.
