I think this has been a great thread. I had to learn a lot of these =
rules growing up. As the song goes: "I wish that I knew what I knew now, =
when I was younger." I hope that the younger readers of TPIN listen to =
the advice here and remember not to pitch their own band or pass out =
cards on someone else's gig. Here are a couple more (and this is a =
serious post, not a tongue-in-cheek one ) for the road:
Don't go to the buffet table unless asked by the event planner AND the =
leader.
No contraband/alcohol. Period. (I even stopped drinking water with a =
lime because it looked like a Gin and Tonic.)
Keep your tux clean and pressed and your shoes shined.
Look like you are enjoying yourself and be polite.
Have enough mutes, valve oil and stand clips for the job.
Don't be the last person back on the bandstand from the break.
Arrive fifteen to thirty minutes before the job.
I could go on, but you get the point. Also, there is a joke about one of =
these "Sideman Rules" floating around the internet. Yes it is comical to =
read, but how about if we circulate a good version of the Sideman Rules =
for a change.
Stepping off my soapbox,
