Rules for musicians sitting in:

1. You must KNOW the song and perform from memory. No sheet music allowed on stage. Historically in the jazz idiom, knowing a tune means having the melody, chord changes and form committed to memory.

2. The maximum number of songs each musician can sit in on is 3

3. Rhythm section players: the 5 most important things on a bandstand are time, feel, note choices, dynamics and quality of sound. When playing, always manifest all 5 of these elements

4. Horn players: please be in tune. If you need a tuning note the house band is happy to provide.

5. Listen to one another, and know your role. If you are the soloist, you should be the most prominent voice on stage – don’t be bashful and speak through your instrument so the whole audience can hear your story! If you are not the soloist, make sure you are providing a strong and supportive volume and sound. If you cannot hear the soloist, you are too loud.

6. Open ears and open eyes. Be prepared to react to spontaneity, and not just focus on your playing. Listen to the other musicians.

7. Have fun, and have something to say on your instruments/vocals when you are on the bandstand.
