You have a wealth of ideas and suggestions here.
I too second the use of a di box.
Organization is key to a successful om.
You will always have late arrivers you should strive to get them on.
I agree get a sign up sheet. This allows performers
to look ahead an know when there time is near.
Save you from chasing them down( which you may
Want to do despite the list) and saves setup time.
It also gives performers a sense of order and helps
with the "oh let him go now .,I'll go later"
Be respectful of everyone . Dont bump folks
for better players. Try your best to get everyone
Up there. Post a sign up time say 7pm. This may
Discourage late arriving people but it helps
You know how to manage the time. If you start
With let's say 2 hrs and 4 people that's 1/2 he
Per performer so the first hour goes by and
Six more Musician's show up wanting to play.
So now you have 8 folks to fill an hr That's now
2 songs each. You see how this can get out
Of hand. I always tried to be fair and equal to
My performers. Regardless of ability ..It keep them coming back.
