So...

app. 35 people showed up for the audition. Prelims were Ride, Meistersinger, Prok 5 rhl 3 - 4, Hungarian March, and Mahler 1.

Advanced to semis: Will Samson (Rice), Dan Peck (Rutgers), myself, Scott Chaote (USCal), and Chris Blaha (UMich).

Asked in semis were Fountains, Mahler 5 scherzo, and Jupiter from The Planets.

Finalists: Dan Peck and Chris Blaha.

Finals list: Bruckner 8 mvt 4, Kije's Wedding, Pictures section stuff, and Nabucco.

The winner is Chris Blaha. Congrats! He sounded f-ing awesome and really deserved the job. Congrats to Dan also, who worked his *** off for this audition.

(Lesson learned: Three weeks is not enough time to put together an audition of this scope.)
