GRF Dance Rules and Guidelines:
• No table saving. People can bring their own snacks.
• Attendees must be out of the clubhouse no later than 10 p.m. to permit adequate time for the custodian to tear down the setup and arrange the setup for the following day.
• No announcements are permitted from the stage, except by the bands.
• Clubhouse lighting and audio-visual equipment can only be adjusted by the custodian according to the instructions they have been given.
• People are encouraged to sign in, either as a resident or guest, in the proper spot. This is the only way GRF can judge the popularity of people’s favorite bands.
