Generally, guest soloists do this all the time. Play a 2-5 rehearsal and an 8PM gig. Shouldn't be too tough unless the music is REALLY hard.

Update on the edurance question and the gig.....
I sold myself a little short!!!
Took part in the clinic. Took it as a warm up (that was a bad move!!)...I didn't have time to warm up before the 8pm gig because I played drums with the warm up group. The first song with the big band was "Tiger of San Pedro". I play the solo bone part.....
For those of you that don't know I play trombone!! (pleeeze dont hold that against me!!...LOL)...But brass is brass so alot of the topics that trumpet players talk about also apply to trombone playing also!!
Soooo....I didn't have time to warm up and the first notes I play is F over the staff to high C to Bb....and my lips were stiff as hell!!! The notes didn't no part of this!!! By the middle of the song, it all came together. And I was pretty strong all night (after the on job warm up!!!)
I will never do that again!! I will from now on take the time to warm up!!! I used to just be able to "grip 'em and rip 'em"...But I guess I am too old for that!!!
As a side note....Steve Davis played his face off man!!! Puts on a great clinic and (of course talked about you being the one that kicked it all off for us!!!)
