I had exactly the opposite thing happen to me this year. I was booked for what I was told was a quartet and they specifically asked me to bring my small Eb and play 2nd trombone parts. I show up and there are 5 players. It turns out that 4 days before Easter, they decided they could afford 5 players and asked the contractor to book a trombone player. Of course, nobody told me any of this and I didn't bring my regular quintet horn (Miraphone 184 CC). Ironically, we played very much the same music as you did. I always love taking these kinds of gigs because you never know what's going to happen!
My opinion for what it's worth...
