Can someone explain to me the problem with only providing the repertoire list 9 days before the audition? It seems like this would confirm that the orchestra would hire someone who has these excerpts under their fingers, which is something you want in a Principal.

By far my favorite thing I have read now on this forum is someone thinking there will be an investigation sparked by the gripers on this forum

“Players who would have advanced in a hall, are now being cut.” this is not real
