This category is going to be a repository of places that hire musicians on a long-term basis (either permanent gigs or seasonal gigs). I will not be listing every vacancy here, so it is not a "timely" category in that regard. Specific vacancies will under the appropriate "auditions" categories.

This is an annual thing for a long time now. Way back 30+ years ago, I had friends in college (University of Virginia) who played at Busch Gardens for the summer and had a great time. They had a German "oom-pah" band in their fest haus (i.e. indoor gig!). It looks like they are doing a "Blast" - like show with drum corps elements.
