Always great to be reading a brand new concerto for the first time when the soloist arrives instead of rehearsing it beforehand

I’ve lost count of how many red flags I’ve put up with in this job but now they’re posting open auditions for all positions and we are supposed to all audition for the positions we already have and compete with anyone who wants to come for the pittance salary 🤡

When I was in high school the band director used to complain about the bassoons playing sharp (which is really common at that age) and would tell us to pull out the bocal (which is not how you tune a bassoon) so I would just pretend to do it
