Thanks, guys, but all this midwest stuff seems pretty far away from my observation. The observation was that in general, people on this list don't mention musicality very much with regard to orchestral auditions.

Obviously, it is important that you have technical command of your instrument. However, having technical command but nothing to say musically will probably not get you very far in the long run.

I will rephrase the question, and then leave it at that:

Why do you wish to play the tuba? Is winning an orchestral audition the life goal that you seek, or is your desire to be a musician, perhaps in an orchestra? They are not the same goal.

Jeff
