I did this job for seven consecutive summers. If you decided to do this, be prepared to work a lot and to feel slightly abused at times, though conditions are much better. The down side, like most jobs, is that you have to work hard. The up side is that you get paid a lot of money and you can go and join a reserve band afterwards, if there is one in your area, and make a lot more money. Also, you are performing every day which has huge benefits. And you get paid to play (tuba). Ottawa is a great city in the summer time! PM me and I can answer all your questions.

I've been here in the shadows for a while. I rather like my lurker status!! How are things in Europe, Simon?
