Talk:Encore (concert)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Rhythmic clapping as request for an encore?
In Israel, applause following the last number on a concert program will often change to a steady, rhythmic clapping of hands to indicate the audience's request for an encore. I hadn't noted this behavior among U.S. audiences (though admittedly have no experience there since the early 1980s). Is the practice common elsewhere? -- Deborahjay 05:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bis/Encore
The French themselves, however, use the word bis in the same circumstances.) "
I'm french and I never heard "bis" in this circumstance. French people always yell "encore" at the end of a concert!
