When do polls close?
What percent of precincts reporting?

SLSO is more interesting than all of that! :)

Well, some tubas may not be tunable to A = 442. If the person playing one of those tubas made it to the section playing part of the audition, there could be a problem.
Thank God they tell us this 4 months before the audition.
I guess Derek found the hacksaw! :mrgreen:

I was there, and I had questions to the personnel manager afterward regarding the outcome.

Is it really a secret who is temping?

Its 2022 man.... what possible secret could there be?
