What to Expect at a Wichita Falls Symphony Concert
Whether you’re a lifelong symphony lover or attending your very first concert, we’re glad you’re here. Find everything you need to know before your visit—from parking and attire to concert etiquette and what happens when the music begins.
First Time at the Symphony?
You Don’t Need to Know Anything About Classical Music
Many people attending a WFSO concert are experiencing live symphonic music for the first time. There are no prerequisites, no music degrees required, and no “right” way to enjoy a performance.
Whether you’re coming to hear a favorite piece, support a friend, enjoy a date night, or simply try something new, you’re in the right place.
Before You Arrive
Present electronic or printed tickets at the door. Can’t find your tickets? Call the box office and leave a message and we will gladly reprint them and hold them at will call.
If you’re missing tickets on concert night, please visit us at the box office starting at 6:00 pm.
Parking is available free-of-charge at all of our performance venues. See parking maps on our venues page.
Please contact us about ADA seating and assistance options.
Most concerts last approximately 90–120 minutes, including intermission.
Whatever makes you comfortable! Some patrons enjoy dressing up, while others come in business casual or jeans. There’s no formal dress code, just come ready to enjoy the music.
Concert Etiquette
A Few Helpful Tips
Photography
Photos are welcome before and after the concert. Photography and video recording are not allowed during performances.
Late Arrivals
In consideration of other audience members, patrons who arrive after the concert begins will be asked to wait to be seated until an appropriate pause between pieces.
Applause
We welcome your authentic response to the music. When in doubt, wait until the conductor lowers the baton and turns to face the audience. Then, clap away!

Contact the WFSO office with questions regarding exchanges or performance changes
The WFSO Box Office opens 90 minutes before each concert, and auditorium doors open one hour before the performance begins. Arriving early gives you plenty of time to find your seat and settle in before the music starts.
No problem! Just arrive a little early and visit the WFSO Box Office at the venue. We’ll be happy to reprint your tickets.
To ensure your tickets are valid, always purchase directly through the WFSO website (ticket purchases are securely processed through our ticketing provider, CueBox) or by contacting the WFSO Box Office.
