Remain amid the terrific passageway. To indicate regard, which is normal, stand when the artists begin to enter the field. You are only exempted if there is a reason behind why you are unable to stand. Try not to seat on those chairs that are close to the moving circle because those are held only for artists, vocalists, and drummers.
Look for food stall with the longest line and dance through intertribals.
