And I agree with this. But I think you'll agree that within the subset
of the clarinettists in the world that we had present at the audition,
there was probably a 'best' player, in some sense.

In the UK, the whole procedure would have been different. There would
have been no winner, just a pool of players to try out in the band.

But again, in the particular circumstances we found ourselves, what
*should* we have done?

(I will say what we did in the not too distant future, for those
still interested:-)

BTW, what happened to the two 'empty' posts?
