<<Never play overly expressive for an orchestra/band audition. Play clean and
use moderate expression/dynamics/phrasing. Some adjudicators are boring
stiffs and will not like something musical (because they don't understand it).
Most audition committees are only concerned with technique. Welcome to
college, my friend! Get use to fat-cat administrators and beauracrats, who
will try and make your next four or so years as miserable as their pathetic
lives! Just chalk it up to a lesson learned and remember, bore 'em to death
and you'll be principle! >>

You aren't bitter about something by any chance, are you?
