Re: "sight reading"

I've taken many auditions in my life, not in the past 40 years though. I've been on several audition committees for my orchestra, the BSO as well. Sight reading has always meant knowing the other standard repertoire. That's usually given, if at all, in the finals and it's been my experience that it's not even given then in many cases. I think in part, it depends on how long the list is given. Consider yourself lucky, when I took my auditions in the 60s and early 70s there was no such thing as a list. You learned everything you could and hope there wasn't something given that you didn't know.
