Guidelines Unfair, unethical or illegal activities by any participating party are grounds for exclusion from the program. a) for organizations: Notify musicians of any pertinent changes to booked events as soon as possible Make venue available to musicians early enough on the date of performance for them to setup in a comfortable fashion. Provide musicians with easy access to venue (e.g. An auditorium on the second story is not easy access unless there is an elevator.) If possible, provide musicians with help loading their equipment in and out of the venue. Where appropriate, provide musicians with lighting, sound reinforcement and technicians. Provide refreshments to musicians and their supporting staff that are appropriate for the event. b) for musicians: Minimum of one performance per calendar year to qualify for online listing (Musicians will be listed on the Participating Acts Page following their first performance.) Musicians agree to arrive on time, stay for the length of the agreed-upon performance, wear sensible clothing, and behave in a manner that is appropriate for the situation. (i.e. Use common sense.) Musicians agree to be alcohol and drug free during their performances unless the event serves alcohol to adults. Music with profane, racist or violent content, stated or implied, is not permitted. Recommendations to musicians: We strongly recommend that musicians accept shows that are less than two months in advance. We also urge musicians to play music that is appropriate for the situation. (e.g.) If you are a tatooed, body-pierced rap-influenced metal band, you're probably not going to be well-received at a senior center. Recommendations to organizations: Make sure that acts volunteering to help you are playing music that suits your needs. Disclaimer: Gigs for Kids is not responsible for loss of any kind by any participating party. Musicians and human-service organizations agree to participate at their own risk. All arrangements between musicians and organizations are subject to proven detention by sickness, accidents, riots, strikes, epidemics, acts of God, or any other legitimate conditions beyond the control of the either party.
