Disney Seeking Trumpeters and Drummers: Tubists Stay Home

Dream jobs - let's see: Ambassador to a tropical island? Apprentice to Donald Trump? Cooking apprentice to Padma Lakshmi?

I've given up on (most) of those opportunities, leaving me plenty of time to submit a resume for one of the temporary Toy Soldier gigs in Disneyland's upcoming Christmas Fantasy Parade.

Mike Scott of Fresno TV station CBS47 reports that Disney is hiring adults who are currently enrolled in college and who can 'sight-read' to march as musicians in the parade. It helps quite a bit if you can also play either a trumpet or a drum.

The job lasts for two months, November through January, and it looks as if Disney will accept applications, interview candidates, and make their hiring decisions all on the same day, September 4.

If I weren't so sure that one day soon Padma will ask me to boil an egg, I'd apply myself.
