Sounds like the job I used to have out here at Great America in the Klown Band. Great gig for folks in college.

For this type of band, it'll usually mean arrangements of stuff from top-40 to Beach Boys covers. If you're in the area and don't have a gig lined up, by all means go audition! I had a great time back in the day playing at Great America.
