Subject: [kl] Situation

> I auditioned for an orchestra and made 2nd chair. They only ended up
> having a couple of concerts during the entire year. The situation is
> this: The principal chair could not make the first concert, so I played
> principal. The second concert was scheduled and I committed to that,
> but, they rescheduled that concert at the last minute for another date,
> 3 weeks earlier. I already had a previous committment. They used a
> sub. Now the sub has taken my spot. I asked what was wrong with my

> quite a bit better than the other 2 players. They assured me that they
> were quite pleased with my playing. The reason that they let me go is
> because I could not play in the rescheduled concert.
