Content and courtesy

Sounds & Sights on Thursday Nights is a family-friendly event with a large and diverse audience of all ages.  All performers are expected to act and perform in a manner which would also be considered family-friendly.

We ask that performers be courteous to their fellow musicians and their audiences by maintaining a reasonable volume level in these outdoor stages.

If a Sounds & Sights volunteer asks you to turn down the volume at your stage location, please do with courtesy to the volunteer. If a volunteer feels attacked or their request is ignored, it will impact future engagements with our organization.
