You have to realize that the committee is not only trying to find a fine tuba player but a musician who will fit into the section and the orchestra as a whole. It can be very difficult for committees to choose between the candidates because there are so many good tuba players. I’m sure that the players who did not advance were fine tubaists and great musicians and the fact that they did not advance, while frustrating to be sure, should in no way discourage them from trying again. With all of the current and (near)future openings it would be wise try and look objectively at your performance in the audition and try and improve to the best of your abilities now. I’ve been on both sides of the screen and my observation is that there are lots of fine players but somehow most fail to communicate as great musicians, only as great technicians. Good luck and keep working hard.
