Re: Professional auditions

The numbers I have heard are usually 300 per round and sometimes there are several rounds of that many players (and then the usual top five are in the finals).

Competition is fierce, and many who show up are very good players.

HOWEVER......... here comes a story

Russianoff used to tell a story about the audition process at Eastman where one member of the adjudicating committee would (without fail) pick the ONE clarinetist of the bunch that sounded like "a train going over a trestle."

Point being: you NEVER know just what the band you audition for wants until you go........... you may be it.
