Would this be considered too much servile work?

A while ago, I agreed to play violin at wedding on August 27 (a Sunday). I recently realized that the student activities fair at my college is earlier that same day, and I will be there for at least 3 hours since my pro-life group has a booth at the fair.
I absolutely have to be at the fair, but if I need to, I can find someone to replace me for the wedding gig. However, if this is not unnecessary servile work, I would like to play the gig since it will save me and others quite a bit of trouble. What should I do?

IF playing is NOT your FT occupation; go to it and have fun. 👍

Playing violin is my primary occupation–I study music full-time at a conservatory, and it is my chief means of making income.
So should I not play the gig?

Now, then. I would say two things about this:

  1. *]A wedding, particularly a catholic one, is cause for celebration. Espeically if you are playing reverent pieces, this would seem to excuse you.
    *]If your house was dirty on Sunday, you would still likely clean it, right?
