Gig troubles

So, Eggo walks up to me about a week and a half ago and offers me a gig. Naturally, I take the offer; he always gets me good gigs. So, I call the guy he tells me to call, and it begins. We play phone tag for a while, and he tells me about it; a gig at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, some organization's annual luncheon and press conference. We're gonna play some background music. So, I round up the usual gang, me, Michael, Jordan, and this time I got ZAch to play drums. So Jordan immediately says that he can't do it, because his parents won't let him out of school. I say ok, and I call Marc, and he is really enthusiastic about it. I also talk to his parents about it, seeing as we all have to get out of school early for it. His parents say yes, and everything is good. Well this past saturday, I talk to marc again, and his principal wont let him out for the gig, which sucks ass. So I start asking around, and no one can do it. I call the coordinator about it, and he gets pretty nervous, so that puts more pressure on me to find a player. I talk to Robert Dixon, my last hope, and then I go and convince his mom to let him miss school. So I am now saved, I just hope that he doesn't cancel on me.
