After An Audition, Good or Bad!

Greetings!

I just had my all-state audition and over all the experience was great. Ten of my friends and I got to hang out and just do the thing we love, and regardless of if I did make the band or or not, it was more than well worth the time and effort! I nailed the scales, and almost nailed the etudes (not perfect, but quite well), however the sight reading was a crap shoot. My mind was not focused, and over all it was not impressive.

HOWEVER, as I sit here after what I would consider a good audition, curiosity reached me and made me wonder "What do you do and/or think about after an audition?". The lack of results is a constant nag on my mind at the moment, but not necessarily in a "bad" way per se. I love auditions because in the end I'm able to remind myself why I do this crazy phsychotic showbiz. After slaving away on scientifically machine made etudes and refining them all for "perfection", I get to once again sit down listen to beautiful music and play things I love with soul.

What do you do after an audition?
(By the way: I'll let you know my results once I receieve any word)
