an oboist friend of mine told me minnesota canceled an oboe audition scheduled for january due to an orchestra hiring freeze during contract negotiations. is the assistant principal/eb clarinet audition still on for late november, as far as people who are taking it know? just curious.

Minnesota Orchestra hiring ''freeze'' scheduled for January. This is a pun right?

2nd clar/eb search is still on
bass clar is off

my source is fairly reliable
monetary considerations official excuse

That's the worst limerick I've ever read, CPW. ![[grin]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie5.gif)
/saw line lengths and thought it was a rhyme

naw
just telegraphic style.
Ok...here goes
Along with the cold and chill of Minnesota
a budget freeze in the symphony doth the directors create
Neither bass clarinet nor oboe audition
They will alas not happen in that state.
Oh the Eefer will be featured
with the second clarinet position
only three clarinets will be present
after the final audition
Who will win...
I do not know
The best and brightest
they will blow
When the dust is settled
and the winner declared
It is always the arts that suffer
when money is spared
Sports will survive
we can be assured
but when artistry is involved
we are just lowly whores
So pimp for the arts
and tell you friends
we need more cash
so orchestras we can mend.
Happy now??

Perhaps I should explain: where I live, "you go, girl" has been (sort of) adopted by both sexes as a phrase of encouragement.
Am I off the hook now?
Is this in any way clarinet-related?
Is clarinet in any way reality-related?

It's so cold in north Minnesota.
I can't even start my Toyota.
With a hiring freeze,
The musicians they'll squeeze.
And relocate in North Dakota ...GBK

I wanted to play with Burt Hara,
But I'll have to wait for tomorra.
Staffing decisions are on hold
While they sit in the cold
'Cause there is no more money to borra.

Hmm....the number of clar. players in training =The Avagadro number.
The number of clar. positions available= An Angstrom unit, now less one.
The number of days below freezing in the available city = immaterial.
CPW who cares.
(GBK still priceless.)
The Krel are still pure ID
