Upon arival please check in with the sound engineer and then see the door person or event manager for hand stamps and additional information.

Durring your show do whatever you can to thank local and other acts, especially if you are from out of town. Everyone with jackbox is working hard to create a multi-genra supportive scene. Even if you think another band is crap or if they aren't the most skilled, please, keep that to yourself and be supportive. There are reasons we have allowed them to play... maybe because they draw well and your from out of town and need their support. Maybe because they are new and need a place to start. So please, keep your negative thoughts to yourself and be suportive.

Imediately following your set please move your gear off stage before packing it up. Drum kits need to be moved especially quickly because they take the most time to set up. This will allow the next band to set up and the show to move along quickly.

Other notes: the Paul Engle Center is a smoke and alcohaul free venue. Thanks for working with us on this.

Thank you for your coopoeration.
See you at the show!
