Unspoken Rules: ISO Happy Hour

• Buy advance tickets. They’re $5 cheaper that way.

• The dress code is relaxed. That said, many people still dress up like it’s a party.

• Seating is general admission. Claim a spot with your coat.

• This is a good chance to sit in a fancy box seat on the second floor.

• Next, find the free food from top local restaurants. They go fast.

• “Samples” mean just that. It’s not Dinner at the Symphony.

• Take cough drops.

• Church rules apply: Scoot over to consolidate single seats in your row. 

• The cool kids sit in the Dress Circle as members of Forte, the ISO’s young professionals group, then hit the town afterward.

• Clap whenever the mood strikes.

• Same goes for tweeting (#isohappyhour).
