APPENDIX A: RULES


1. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM THE SPACE.  We exist to support the musicians in our community, and the equipment on site is critical to the success of everyone involved.  We all need to trust that the equipment we need is there when we arrive.  The cameras inside and out of the space, along with the detailed timestamp of your member number will help ensure the safety of the equipment and those responsible for it.

2. THE MEMBER WHO HAS BEEN APPROVED AND ONBOARDED BY MBX MUST BE ON-SITE FOR THEIR SESSIONS.  The onboarding process is so important, and the person with the membership is held responsible for whatever happens during their timeslot.  Please be thoughtful about the guests you bring with you.

3. SHOW THE UTMOST RESPECT TO THE SPACE, THE EQUIPMENT, AND OTHERS AROUND YOU.  If you are careless with gear, the space, and our neighbors, we will not tolerate disrespect and you will be asked not to return.  Do not stay past your allotted timeslot, and make sure the equipment is in the default state when you leave.

4. NO ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES OR ACTIVITIES. 

APPENDIX B: Public Events

Each MBX Member can book 4 public events per year.  These events must be approved by MBX Staff and must adhere to the rules outlined in Appendix A, in addition to the following special rules.  

An event is considered public if it is open to the general public.  If someone who is walking by is welcome to enter the space, and the East door is open to anyone, then it is considered a Public Event.  Private events, by invitation only, are not in this category and therefore are not required to adhere to this special set of rules.  

Special Public Performance Rules:

  1. You must pay or provide a sound engineer for the duration of the event.  You CANNOT leave the mixing console unsupervised.

  2. You must pay or provide someone to run security at the door

  3. No alcoholic beverages

  4. All MBX events are ALL-AGES events and must accommodate accordingly

  5. The MBX Member who booked the event MUST perform in it.  This can be in an opening-act capacity or the headliner

A reminder that you, the member, are responsible for anything that happens onsite to equipment and to the space itself, so please be mindful of this.
