Usually, judgements about bright or dark sound do not come into play. I am listening for a characteristic sound (PERIOD). However, I am also listening for accuracy of rhythm, pitch, and intonation, as well as consistency of sound in all registers and musicality. It would be a rare case that during a hs audition I would be pondering the dark versus bright issue. Too many other factors determine hs auditions.

Judge #1, "Man that kid just blew chunks over the sight reading!" Judge #2, "Yeah, but did you hear that gorgeous dark (or bright) tone!" (snicker)(snicker)
