Yes - I was one of the players who was scheduled to Audition, but got sick (Flu) 3 weeks before it, and there were a few excerpts that were really, **really** obscure that I had to learn, so I tapped out.

That was when Burt won it.

I had replaced Anthony Gigliotti that Summer (1996) at the FAME Princeton Festival as the Clarinet Faculty.

Anthony Mcgill was another favorite to win, but not sure if he auditioned (I do think that he did though). Michael Rusinek Auditioned (that I recall), I think Richard Hawkins also did. Another Finalist was from the Boston Sym/Boston Pops Tom Martin. Some of my best students went on to study with Tom.

It was December/Jan of 1996 that Burt won it.
