I did the Hershey Park gig when I was in college, and it was very sweet (ba dum bum). Honestly though, when I was there, it was quite cushy. I was in a strolling bad called the Candy Rappers, and it was a blast. Typically the strolling bands have the tubas, and they are made up of 2 Trumpets, a Sax, a Trombone, a Drummer and a Tuba. There are some standard stuff that you have to play for the park, and we also arranged some stuff just for our group, which was fine with the staff.

It was a great gig, you were treated very well, taken care of, and we could go to the park whenever we wanted when we weren't working. The town also has the wonderful aroma of chocolate beans from the Hershey factory. Great gig for whomever gets this!
