Just two clarifications.

You don't have to be Stephen Williamson to win a bass audition.

Also, the foot-in-the-door is referring to the "profession." You gain experience (the most important part of the equation......just about everyone in the profession says they began really learning how to play once they got into an orchestra) and a reputation (people recognize your name and associated abilities). This "helps" your chances in the next audition for the next position (asst principal/Eb perhaps) for the next ensemble.

But as long as you're out of the loop, your chances are that much harder. But EVERYONE has to start somewhere.
