I've taken younger children than that to concerts without being 100%
certain of anything. We sat in the back row & they were told no
warnings or second chances: if they misbehaved, we were going home.=20
The first time we left before intermission, but the second time they
were good - they couldn't sit still (and I didn't expect them to) but
they listened and were quiet while the music was playing.
