Our guidelines (posted quite prominently at our jam, by the signup sheet).

Jam Etiquette Guidelines
All performers are required to read this before playing
1. This is a BLUES jam not a generic open mic! Your set should focus on
blues music.
2. The jam is for beginners as well as experts, but players should be at
least moderately proficient on their instrument of choice.
3. You must sign your name and instrument on the clipboard list first if
you want to play; do not write on the dry marker set board.
4. Tune up before you get up to play. Tuners are available so ask if you
need one.
5. Listen closely, and play rhythm/chords to support the groove. Don’t
solo until the vocalist/leader tells you it’s your turn.
6. Control dynamics. If you can’t hear the vocalist or the lead
instrument, then consider yourself too loud. Watch your volume, turn
down if asked.
7. Generally, the vocalist will lead the set and call the songs, name
the key, and describe the changes. During a song, keep your eye on the
vocalist/leader for cues.
8. Sets are limited to 4 songs or approx. ½ hour of playing time; then
end your set. Players should vacate the stage area as quickly as
possible, so the next group can get up.
9. Everyone gets up at least ONCE before anyone plays TWICE.
10. You can sign up again at the bottom of the list after your set (see
#9).
