Standing ovation
When you go to a concert, play, or performance, sometimes the people in the audience will stand up and clap very loudly at the end. This is called a standing ovation.
It's like when you do a really good job coloring a picture and your mom and dad give you a big hug and say "great job, we're so proud of you!" Except instead of just your family, it's a whole bunch of people who don't even know you.
People usually give a standing ovation when they are really impressed by the performance they just saw. They want to show the people on stage how much they enjoyed it and how talented they are.
It's also a way for the audience to say "thank you" to the performers for putting on such a good show. So if you ever go to a concert or play and the audience gives a standing ovation, you know it's because the people on stage did a really amazing job!
