Often players don't say much about the audition. So maybe you were just outplayed.

I sometimes hear players say they have been playing for 20 years, but after talking to them they play once a week at the local community band rehearsal and the horn sits in the case until the next week and during the summer months the horn never gets opened! Well that doesn't add up to 20 years.

What did you play at the audition? Was there sight reading? If so, how did it go? Scales? Prepared pieces?

Please fill us in a bit more. I've seen really great players with dyslexia have trouble with sight reading and find themselves wrongfully in the 3rd section. They should be in the first section. Of course others that don't practice ever, but who can sight read are in the first section. The dyslexic people or people who are slow at reading music go home and woodshed the parts and are well prepared for the upcoming rehearsals and concerts.
