A few important rules for guest musicians sitting in:

1. You are a special guest on a concert. This is not a jam session, so be prepared for feedback from the artist and/or the house band regarding the song you are performing on (number of choruses, tempo, etc.)

2. Please have the song committed to memory. No sheet music is allowed on stage, unless the artist is doing a specific arrangement.

3. Volume is contingent upon setting. If we are outside, be prepared to project so your sound carries. If we are inside, be prepared to play softly and with intensity.
