Performance attendees spoil enjoyment of others

Dear editor,

The musical performances at the Killington Library on Thursday evenings in an informal setting are meant to provide entertainment and enjoyment to locals and visitors alike.

There were several groups in attendance at last Thursday’s event who coalesced into a larger group who appeared to come for the purpose of socializing rather than listening to the music. Their very loud conversation permeated the air while the musicians were performing, causing numerous looks of consternation from audience members and causing some people to move their chairs away.

The thoughtless and rude behavior was inconsiderate of others and made hearing the music and comments by the performers difficult to hear many times, but most of all it showed utter rudeness and disrespect toward the performers.

Jane Cullen, Pittsfield,
