So, nobody won.
Again, *sigh*
How does one deal with that info? After the large number of auditions, all the amazing trumpet players that were turned away and a couple of great trumpeters in the finals, a winner still could not be chosen. Doesn't it just make you mad?
To me, the answer, as you could probably guess, is no.
I don't know what factors lead to this decision. Maybe the finalists played badly. Maybe the conductor overruled the committee. Again, who knows? But I find it hard to get mad without the knowledge of really happened.
I repeat, though, it wasn't personal, it was business.
The bottom line is, that there will most likely be another opportunity to audition for the job, which is a good thing. What's to be upset about?
As you're beginning to understand, I believe that auditions are not worth getting so worked up about. Hard work is required, the ability to stay focused is important and a certain killer-instinct is necessary. But beating yourself up over audition preparation or results is not helpful. Yes, I've gotten angry with myself over how I might have played at an audition, but I've always been successful in letting it go and moving on to the next one.
That's because I never took it personally!
You can only control ONE thing in auditions and that is.......................................
