I only know a few things about it. Some of this info may be off, so no promises.
15 invited. 14 showed up. 6 advanced to the finals. 3 were given an acceptable rating. 2 are actually being offered current positions. Neal was in the band before, and is appearantly a fantastic musician. The second place person is from West Virginia I believe. The third place guy is from IUP, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
I kept hearing comments from the judging people all day that there were some fantastic players, as is to be expected of a euphonium audition. Congrats to the guys who were offered positions.
I am waaaaaaaaaay too junior to be making decisions on hiring people, so what I am stating is from what I heard afterwards.
