Just show up at a major symphony audition?

Hey, I know we are all agog over the Cleveland Symphony opening, but I just saw the notice for the 2nd clarinet spot in Detroit. Apparently, all you need to do is show up and audition (no preliminary tape submission!!!). Is this becoming a "thing" with major symphonies or is this another rare example of the exception over the rule?

I liked the fact that this was how the audition went for The United States Marine Band (The President's Own). This way the audition committee knows exactly what the candidate actually sounds like, and it gives a chance to "unknown talent" to get their foot in the door.
