Absolutely, I take at least a month off every summer. I need to do this because the grind of an orchestra gig can play merry hell with your practice routines. I find that I need to take a break, rest, and then come back a couple of months before the season starts and put my playing back together in a very methodical way. It's worked for me for the last few years.
My opinion for what it's worth...
