Congratulations to Avery Weeks!

Congratulations to Will Baker!!

They don’t advance as liberally as other orchestras with semifinals. Often they’ll go an entire prelim day without advancing a single player. If someone gets 4/9 votes, they play again in the subsequent hour with a new number.

They have section vacancies. That audition was announced before the conclusion of this week’s charade

And congratulations to Orion Miller for winning the section position!

Peter Hatch won assistant. Two 1-years were also awarded.

Two out of three positions were filled.

Indeed there was.

Toby Vigneau

Riley Zimmerman

David already played, and Mark is playing this week.

Correct. Luis Celis won.

Finals Monday June 26

Yes

Drew Banzhaf won the title position

From what I have been told, whenever a position opens “above” your current position, there is the option for an internal audition before the international (public) one.

Stephanie Block

The list was also unnecessarily long. Many young bassists don’t think of themselves as ”principal players” and will only go for section auditions. Plenty of factors

I believe it was 8 this time. There are a number of other better auditions coming up, and the history of no hires and pandemic furlough surely is keeping people away.

Charles Paul won this today. First Assistant, which means he will be either #3 or #1 (their #2 is a frozen position)
