My quintet got a gig playing a wedding in Gettysburg, about 2 hours from home.  Well we got $100 per so we figured Ok why not.  Also, the bride was friend of one of our trumpeters.  Well this wedding was a marathon.  There was a half hour recital before hand.  During the service there were all kinds of soloists, a puppet show!, the bride's church choir and hand bell choir.  From start to finish the wedding was 2 hours long!  Then we had to drive home 2 hours yet!  $100 bucks for 61/2 hours plus gas, ouch!
