The Assistant Conductor and Section Leader may assist at this audition. The audition will be held by the third rehearsal to give the applicant time to get acclimated. During the initial rehearsals, the applicant will sit with the section for additional evaluation. If the applicant's audition is substandard, the applicant will be offered a provisional status with another audition in three months. Advancing If a playing member wishes to challenge for a principal position, the member must inform the Music Director and Personnel Director. The Music Director, Personnel Director and two section leaders will adjudicate. The member challenging must have played at least four concerts to establish his/her commitment. There will be a waiting period of four months if the member wants to challenge again for the same position. Attendance Players are to attend each and every rehearsal except for reasons of sickness, work paid performance with another ensemble, and family emergency. Even if absences are approved, a minimum of four rehearsals including dress rehearsal is mandatory for each concert. For participation in performances, the Music Director and Personnel Director will make this determination. Good attendance is the keystone of this organization. Rehearsals are to work on ensemble, not notes. An absence means that tempi, balance, rate of accelerando and ritardando, tone, intonation and "fitting in" with the section will be missed. Knowing your individual part does not make you an ensemble player. Only attendance at rehearsals can accomplish this.
