Congratulations to Carol! She's had quite a lot of major successes over the past few years, and I'm looking forward to hearing her play one of these days.
Something just occurred to me. Abe Torchinsky retired from the Philadelphia Orchestra to teach at the University of Michigan. Carol studied at the University of Michigan, and will be joining the Philadelphia Orchestra right out of school. Things are going full circle!

I was doing some searching on the web, and I found a real jewel. Go to this web page and check out the clips of a 17-year-old Carol playing on a live radio show:

The clips are Ponce: Estrellita and the Flight of the Bumble Bee.
She sounds fantastic!

I'm hip, Doc. My personal little wake-up call came the first day of Basic Training when how a person was measured was by how many push-ups you could do. I had every **** duty for 10 weeks, lived through it,and never took anything for granted again. And I agree on the faith issue. Nothing hurts as much as when something you love goes south on you. When my Focal Dystonia became more than I could deal with I had to do some major soul searching. I realized that the gig was up and had to regroup. I was already teaching in the public schools and enjoyed it, so that became my musical oasis. I had never realized how much fun sharing music and learning could be. Then came radio and the chance to share again(gone now due to financial constraints: it is cheaper to have a sattelite service do your job for you) and conducting. While I never will occupy a chair in the back with the brethren again, I have my memories and knowledge and Thank God that I am still in music.
Carol Jantsch has a wonderful musical life ahead of her. My hopes are that that life is balanced with something away from the horn so those moments with it are that much more enjoyable.
And yes, to all out there that read this and are saying "What does this have to do with the Philadelphia audition? I'm with you, absolutley nothing, unless you consider that a 21 year old phenom just won a great gig and you are 45 and looking back at that aspect of your life, then it has everything to do with it. Very cathartic. I will thank Carol someday.

Congrats to Carol for winning the job!
As a 20 yrs old female tuba player myself, I can't believe people my age are winning gigs like that... I'm a bit speechless right now. I don't know when I'll be as good as her but knowing that somebody like her is out there is a great motivation for me to practice harder
